The Word in Ponyville

As the two ponies rode the train back home, they made small talk about having just visited the princess as once more the train they came to. Canterlot on went back through the previous dark tunnel as the train cars lights kicked on when the train-cab was filled with darkness.

Fluttershy still had the bible inside of her saddle bag as she let out a yawn stretching out her fore-hooves before turning to Twilight.

“As soon as I’m getting home Twilight I am laying down and relaxing”.

Said Fluttershy in a somewhat tired tone of voice as she held back a yawn but failed.

Twilight nodded in agreement as she herself was quite wore-out as well from their trip. Despite it being about twelve in the afternoon. The two mares continued to ride on the train as it chugged along it’s track both in silence but sitting across from one another. After about two minutes of being in the dark tunnel the train finally emerged from it and the lamps inside of the trains car turned off and once again the train was illuminated by the sun.

Fluttershy out of curiosity pulled The Bible back out from her saddle bag as she opened to where they had left off with Princess Celestia in the book of Acts. She continued to read until the train finally arrived back into the town of Ponyville’s station as the two of them both got off of the train and gave each other a hug and exchanging farewells as Twilight headed back to her castle and Fluttershy to her cottage.

Fluttershy continued to trot through the town’s center waving to any pony she knew with a friendly smile, in a good mood but well determined to get back to her cottage to take care of the animals she kept.

Shortly after walking through town she reached a dirt road leading to her cabin as Fluttershy trotted happily, but tiredly up to her cabins front door and pushed it open with a hoof, as she gasped by the next sight that she saw, a human! This human in particular was wearing a long white robe with a purple sash belt around his waist as he looked to her with the most beautiful eyes and long brown hair with a full beard and also friendly smile before he spoke.

“Hello Fluttershy”. The man spoke as Fluttershy was just at a loss for words as she slowly closed her cabins door behind her while trotting up to the strange human.

“Who are you and how did you get into my cabin?”

Fluttershy asked with a hint of worry in her voice, after all this strange man just made his way into her home without permission and while she was not home no less.

“I am who I am” The man simply responded as Fluttershy thought to herself she had read that before, then it dawned on her... This was Jesus!

“Are you by any chance... Jesus?” Fluttershy asked, as he then nodded in reply and she held a hoof to her muzzle in surprise and disbelief.

Jesus smiled and ushered for Fluttershy to come have a seat beside him which she did.

“Yes Fluttershy I am Jesus of The Bible, I am the one who sent you that book you received.” Jesus stated as Fluttershy then retrieved the book and set it in front of him.

“You mean to tell me all that happened in this book really happened?”
Fluttershy asked Jesus still a bit shocked to actually see Him for real.

Jesus once again nodded in reply before wrapping an arm around her and pulling her in close gently for a hug.

“Yes dear Fluttershy, and I wanted to visit you personally to re-assure you that I am real, and I paid the ultimate price for your sins.”

Jesus stated before showing the pony his nail-scarred hands, a visible hole in both palms of his hands.

Fluttershy gasped as she could not believe what she was seeing, but it was real.

Jesus then looked at Fluttershy with a smile still hugging her close.

“Fluttershy I know you read The Bible and I know you wish to be saved. Something in your soul has been searching for a relief and thats why I’m here and I want you to believe in me, and spread my word The Gospel throughout Ponyville here in this universe.” Jesus said still looking at the timid and shy pony.

Jesus then spoke up again, “Do you believe that I am the son of the living God?”.

Fluttershy nodded and spoke “Yes I do.”

“Do you forgive anyone who has done you wrong or hurt you in any way?” Jesus asked and Fluttershy nodded and replied.

“Yes.”

Jesus then asked another question, “Do you believe that I was nailed to the cross to die for your sins and that I rose again from the dead three days later?”

Jesus asked looking at Fluttershy.

“Yes Jesus I believe that.” Fluttershy smiled as she told the Lord her reply.
Jesus then hugged the pony close and gave her a kiss on her cheek.

“As of this day Fluttershy your name has been written in the lambs book of life, and you now have eternal life.”

Jesus said with a smile before he stood up. Fluttershy then asked him.

“Eternal life?” Fluttershy questioned him.

“I mean that you have life and die here dear Fluttershy, but your soul will forever live on with me when someday you enter into Heaven.” Jesus stated.

With that Jesus hugged Fluttershy again.

“I must go now dear Fluttershy, but always know that I am watching over you and you can talk to me anytime you wish in prayer. Spread the word that I have given you all across Equestria and in Ponyville.” Jesus proclaimed.

With that Jesus was surrounded by a bright white light and then a flash of the light and he was gone. It became clear to Fluttershy why she received that book, to become possibly the first Christian pony and to spread the word of God wherever she went with his blessing.

She looked around to see where Jesus had gone off to as she was a tad bit sad but remembered his words and what he said as remained where she was and grabbed The Bible and began reading, somehow she could tell he was still there even though he had gone. Now it was clear to her what she had to do, spread the word of God and the story of Jesus Christ, now her Saviour.
