Salvation
One should not believe everything one hears but should experience it foroneself. Being saved from Jesus is a big deal to ones faith especially when one has a huge ceremony to be saved. When something is expected of one and it is failed it is a big disappointment, so some of us may twist the truth around. If one puts thier mind to something one can accomplish anything, and thats what Langston needed to know so he could realize that Jesus was already with him. Langston was at the church wanting and waiting to see Jesus, when all along Jesus was with him and he did not realize it. Langsston was a twelve year . . .
I agree with the part where Langston explainbs that he was saved but disagree with the line, “Now I didn’t believe there was a Jesus anymore, since he didn’t come to help me. This is because Langston has learned now that if one affimrs thier life, one will see Jesus later in life and will be saved from evil. He did not really recognize what was going on until later on in his life where he now realizes he will not be killed on the alter by God. Langston believes now that he had been saved and it takes time to understand what “being saved” is all about, especially when one is only twelve years old. Langston did not realize that all he had to do was affirm life and he would be welcomed into the kingdom of God. ” He went along with it because of pressure by other peers. This obviously shows the sorrow and regret for his lying. I agee with Langston when he says, “I was saved from sin when I was going on thirteen”, because he really was saved, he just had to believe in himself and in God. I agree with this narration, Salvation by Langston Hughes, because Langston wass saved he just did not recognize it at that moment for he did not fully understand the concept of “seeing Jesus and beinf saved was. “For the last time in my life but one-for I was a big boy twelve years old-I cried. Langston recognized that he was going to be saved later on in his life because he repented even though he may not have understood it at that momment. was confused about the whole “seeing jesus” concept, because he thought he woul literally see jesus. ” Jesus really did help him because now Langston wants to affirm life everywhere with everything. I decieved everybody in the church”.
