Introduction
Greetings great people of Steemit platform! I want to appreciate this great platform for this opportunity to participate in this contest. Am not good story teller, but this image reminds of me of how Jesus took my place in death on the cross and gave me his life, so enjoy my story.
Juliana lived most of her life trusting God for a life partner, she was the first daughter in a family of seven Consisting of Five Girls and two boys. All the sisters of Juliana got married and left Juliana alone with her parents in their family house. Her situation grew to a point where her parents began to see her as a burden to them and began to give her tough time at home which made the home uncomfortable for her.
After many years God finally remembered Juliana and blessed her with a Husband and not long after her marriage God blessed her with twins as her first fruits. These blessings brought a lot of joy to Juliana because God has finally wiped her tears and turned her sorrow into Joy.
The Children she gave birth to were boys whom she named James and John. These Children were given everything they needed while growing up because of the circumstances surrounding Juliana's life, she never wanted her children to experience any of the things she experienced, so she did all she could to give them the best.
After many years James and John gain admission into the higher institution and being identical twin it became very hard for anyone to tell who was James and who was John. It was really hard to separate their identity because they look very much alike.
After many days in campus James join a cult and became a cultists but John on the other hand was not willing to join knowing fully well the consequences that is involved in being a cultist. So John did everything he could to discourage James from being cultist, but each time he try to stop James from being a cultist James would end up picking offense with him which made him adamant to his brother's advise.
Every night in the campus James and his team always go around the campus terrorising their fellow students, stealing and equally raping young girls and the following day he would come back to the house with lots of goodies which John would always reject knowing fully well the source of the goodies.
John as a good brother did all he could to save his brother from the cult activities, he always reminded him of the family they came from and the pain their parents would experience if anything bad should happen to him, but James heart was harden and refused to yield to the advise of his brother.
One day James and his cult group went to an operation as usual, but this time the people they went to rob refused to cooperate which made the cultist killed the people, but unknowing to them the neighborhood was surrounded by armed men and in their bid to escape there was an open fire. The cultists were shooting at the armed men and the armed men were doing the same until almost everyone in James cult group died and it was remaining only James.
James therefore ran for his life seeing that he was the only one left and death was knocking at his door, and as he was running back to his house the armed men were chasing him. He managed to get to his house and John came to open the door for him, immediately he entered the house he locked the door and told John that the armed men were after him and that he killed someone. As he was still narrating his experiences to John the armed men came knocking at the door, and because of the love John had for James he took the blood filled clothes of James and put it on himself and gave James his own clothes.
Before he opened the door for the armed men to arrest him he made this statement to the hearing of James, "I WILL DIE YOU DEATH, PLEASE LIVE MY LIFE AND DON'T GO BACK TO YOUR OLD WAYS".
This was what Jesus did for me and for you, HE DIED FOR ALL THAT THEY WHO LIVE SHOULD NO LONGER LIVE FOR THEMSELVES, BUT FOR THE ONE THAT DIED FOR THEM.
JESUS DIED MY DEATH THAT I MIGHT LIVE HIS LIFE, A LIFE THAT IS FREE FROM SINS AND GUILT.

Thank you for your time
I invited @nanya and @rita-lucy to participate in this contest
El amor por los hermanos son tan grande para hacer lo que hizo John por su hermano, así mismo como lo hizo Jesús por nosotros, espero James haya entendido la lección y no volver a esas andanzas que le arrebato la vida de su hermano para salvarlo a el.
Me encantó tu historia porque muchas veces olvidamos que Jesús murió por nosotros para que nosotros viviéramos una vida libre sin pecados.
Saludos!!
Wow🤭
What a great love John show to his brother Jame, very strange....this is what Jesus did for us all in the cross of Calvary.
What I learnt in your story is that violence/cultism doesn't pay instead it will lead to destruction.
Thanks for sharing best of luck 💃
Actually Juliana was really favor by God for giving birth to twins James and John which is the best name that is given to twins. However, James didn't try for once in following the footstep of his family rather he chose the wrong way and thank God for John his brother for always looking for a way that he can bring him back to Christ.
Thanks for sharing such post.
