One should not believe everything one hears but should experience it for
oneself. 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
old boy who was confused about the whole "seeing jesus" concept, because he
thought he woul literally see jesus. Langston did not realize that all he had to do
was affirm life and he would be welcomed into the kingdom of God. 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. "For the last time in
my life but one-for I was a big boy twelve years old-I cried. I decieved everybody
in the church". This obviously shows the sorrow and regret for his lying.
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. 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. 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. This is because
Langston has learned now that if one affimrs thier life, one will see Jesus later in
I agree with this narration, Salvation by Langston Hughes, because
Langston wass saved he just did not recognize it at that mome
