Once upon a time

Once upon a time, there was a little boy.  When asked what his goal in life was, he said "to be like Christ."  Then the little boy grew and grew.  As he got older, he began to see how little his life conformed to Christ's.  He thought that if he tried harder he could do it.  The boy grew into a man.  He saw that he was nothing like Christ.  He had tried and failed enough times to know that he would never be able to achieve his goal.  He said "God, I am unable to live a life that is pleasing to you.  I am trusting in the perfect life that your son, Jesus Christ, lived; and in the death that he died to save a sinner like me.  As he was raised, I hope to be raised, too."

The end
