Do you like snakes? I don't suppose most people do. Especially the kind that can bite and even kill someone. Since the beginning of time as we know it, snakes are represented as evil. The following story is about a sneaky one. And just as this one did, it is sin that will try to get in and kill us. This and other stories can be found at Lesson of the Snake - Inspirational Stories - Funny short stories if you would like to check them out.

A man was in his cabin in the middle of a terrible snowstorm when he heard a feeble scratching at his door.
He opened it to see a half-frozen rattlesnake on his doorstep begging to be let in from the bitter cold.
The man said to the snake, “I’m not going to let you in! You’re a rattlesnake and you’re going to bite me!”
“No, I won’t,” hissed the snake. “Just bring me in and get me warm and I’ll be your friend for life.”
Well, the man let the snake come in and even allowed it to rest upon his chest by the fire to get warm.
When the snake was completely comfortable, it bit the man on the neck.
As he was dying, the man said, “But you promised you wouldn’t bite me and would be my friend for life.”
The snake calmly replied, “But you knew I was a snake when you let me in.”

The good news is Jesus. He can take away the sin that we let creep into our very lives.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. I John 1:9
Isn't God good?
Thanks for coming by, Friends. Have a blessed day!
