Sitting on the Fence
Author Unknown - Adapted

There was an large group of people assembled. On one side of the group stood Jesus. On the other side of the group stood Satan. Separating them, running through the group was a fence.

Both Jesus and Satan began calling to the people in the group and, one by one, each having made up his or her mind went to either Jesus or Satan.

Eventually Jesus had gathered around him a number of people from the group, as had Satan. One man joined neither group. He climbed the fence that was between Jesus and Satan and sat on it. Then Jesus and the people who had chosen to be with Him left. So also did Satan and his people.

The man on the fence sat alone.

As this man sat there, Satan came back and appeared to be looking for something that he'd lost.

The man said, "Have you lost something?"

Satan looked straight at him and replied, "No, there you are. Come with me."

"But," said the man, "I am sitting on the fence. I chose neither you nor Jesus."

"That's okay," said Satan. "I own the fence."

In reality, there is no middle ground, no fence to sit on! If you do not chose to follow and obey Jesus you have chosen Satan as your father. One of the two groups is headed for heaven. The other is headed for the Lake of Fire. Which group are you in?


note: DON'T sit on the fence!!
