Once Dead but Now Resurrected

When Jose Guadalupe was a boy, he attended church regularly with his parents. One day his father left the house to find employment in another country, never to return. When his mother remarried, his stepfather prevented Jose from attending church. As a result, he felt hatred and resentment towards his mother and stepfather. Jose concluded that God did not exist and withdrew from Christianity. He developed a personality problem, experienced problems in his studies, and lived a disoriented life. Although he eventually married, he was unhappy and his heart was empty.

One day a Jesus Film team arrived in his neighborhood and passed out invitations from house to house. His 10-year-old son, Santiago, pleaded with Jose to attend the showing. They decided to attend the film together. Jose felt that God was really speaking to him through the movie. At the end of the movie, he let down his pride and, with tears in his eyes, asked the Lord to forgive him. Now Jose and his entire family are following Jesus. He testifies that he was once dead but now has been resurrected. He is one of the happiest men in town and cannot help but speak about the wonderful miracle that God has done in his life.
