Double-up!

Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'm getting a lot of picture doubles! It's getting funny!
Today was our lesson 69. This lesson was the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. The lesson's focus took us to a lot of the OT places where the things that happened were written hundreds of years earlier by God through His prophets. What marvelous facts our salvation rests upon! All the passages that pointed to the Deliverer happened just as He said it would! Not only these prophecies but the stories of the OT also help in understanding why Jesus had to die, why it could only be Him who came to do it too! It was God, the Perfect Lamb who alone could! Do you believe He paid for your sins by dying in your place for your sin? Believing that He came to do this FOR YOU! is so very important! He alone, nothing you do, can save you! What are you trusting in? Your "goodness"? (sorry it's not good enough! Plus you have probably been minimizing sin for awhile!) You go to church, read your Bible and pray......these are good things! But if you are trusting that this will make you acceptable to God the answer is NO!
Believe that Jesus died, was buried and then arose. That's it! Your sin was punished by His death, it is for you to believe this by acknowledging yes, I am a sinner, undeserving of anything but God's wrath against sin, choose to believe Jesus died for your sin too! Simply come to Him, trusting in His blood shed for you! and thank Him for being YOUR DELIVERER!
Today we will be talking about God the Holy Spirit....our Counselor, Guide, Paraclete....
We serve a living Savior! He is seated at the right hand of the Father God on high. He is interceding for those of us who have been redeemed!
