"Hitler escapes from Hell!"

In the distant future ...

British Anchorwoman: "This just in: Adolph Hitler, yes that Adolph Hitler, has escaped from Hell. The Twittersphere is exploding with eye-witness reports of the former Führer eating tacos in New Jerusalem. Let's go live to the scene and reporter Mox Malik."

Indian Reporter: "Yes, Jeannine, I'm here at the so-called 'gates of Hell,' and the place seems secure. There are no signs of a break-out. The enormous gates are completely intact. A huge crowd is gathering to see if the reports of Hitler's escape are true. Sir! Excuse me, sir! Did you see what happened here?"

Jewish Witness: "Yes. I saw the whole thing."

"Could you please tell our viewers exactly what you saw?"

"Sure. I walked over to the gates, unlocked them, and let Adolph go free."

"So Adolph Hitler did not escape from Hell?"

"That's right. Jeannine's lead-in and the headline on this blog post are wrong. Mox, those who come here can't escape from their judgment. Didn't you see the size of the lock? Besides, I have the only key."

"OK. But why did you let him go free?"

"He was properly judged and became very humble. He repented and asked me to forgive him. So I did. He's a new man now. You should go talk with him. He's very pleasant and witty. I bet he'll even buy the first round of tacos."

"You forgave him?"

"Yes."

"Sir, don't you know about all the horrible things Mr. Hitler did?"

"Yes Mox, I'm very well aware of his past. Don't you know what I did?"

"Yes! You released one of the worst people who ever lived!"

"True, I did do that. But I also died for Adolph, just as I died for everyone else so they could be set free from sin and death and be made right with God. I change people. I make them new."

"Sir, who are you?"

"I'm Jesus, the Savior of the world. It says so right in the Bible."


_______________________________________________________
Note: This is a fictional story. I don't know if Hitler even likes tacos. But the general idea of the story is something that will actually happen - the salvation of all people through Jesus, even the very worst of us. He'll do it. And that's great news. I'm excited to see how this plays out in the future.

The following is not fiction:

⁴ [God our Savior] will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. ⁵ For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; ⁶ Who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. (1 Timothy)

And one thing is certain - whether in this life or the next - coming to Jesus is the ONLY way to be saved.

Jesus says unto him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by Me." (John 14:6)

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)

To learn more about the Savior of the world, read the Bible. For a biblical study of this topic, get the book JESUS and Hitler (slightly less than a buck on Kindle).
