Being sentenced to death is no laughing matter. Based upon serious crimes you have committed, your life is to be ended, and there is now nothing you can do but try to delay the inevitable. Your only hope is that your crimes, which are many, might be forgiven by the authorities and you be mercifully granted a pardon.

All men are sinners, and all deserve death, for all have fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). The judgement is already clear and our sentence will be carried out at the appointed time. That’s why we must all pin our hopes and lives on Him who is able to pardon us our many sins by taking them on himself, Jesus Christ.
