This the story of a tragic life gone too soon. A life that had yet to develope into its own potential. A life that had yet to experience full joy. The story of a young man snubbed away in his prime, but taken in cold blood under the watchful eyes of God and his friends. Gone too soon! A life taken by 3 young men who knew right from wrong and had yet to come into the full knowledge of what those 2 words meant. 3 men whose lives were heading down separate paths ultimately leading to the same destination. Destruction. Only God knows what those you men had on their minds when they decided to commit this ultimate sin that would cost them their freedom, but not their soul. 3 young men who just yesterday were free and today their souls enslaved to the master that put them there. If they had had Jesus on their mind then the outcome would have obviously been different. 3 young men searching for real joy. Running aound in the streets looking for real joy. Robbing your brothers and sisters stealing what they have because they were too lazy to go out and get a job and earn their possessions the good old fashioned way. The Bible says a thief comes to kill, steal and destroy. So what does it make them this that or the other. Call it what you will it all comes out the same. 3 young men searching for real joy. We all know real joy comes from Jesus. So stop focusing on things that only last but for a moment and start focusing on the things that eternal like everlasting life. If you are looking for the external joy then you are barking up the wrong tree. If you are want to experience that eternal joy then you need to start looking at me. For I am the way, truth and the life. I giveth and I taketh away. God!

Interesting, but I'm not sure what the three men did - perhaps an explanation of some sort would help. Use spelled out numbers (three, not 3, two not 2). There is a message of hope in here - hope in Jesus.
