A
young lady named
Sally, relates an experience she had in a seminary class, given by her teacher, Dr. Smith. She
says that Dr. Smith was known for his elaborate object
lessons.
One particular day,
Sally walked into the seminary and knew they were in for a fun day.
On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were many darts. Dr. Smith told the students to draw a
picture of someone that they disliked or someone who had made
them angry, and he would allow them to throw darts at the person's picture.
Sally's
friend drew a picture of who had stolen her
boyfriend. Another friend drew a picture of his little brother.
Sally drew a picture of a former friend, putting a great deal of
detail into her drawing, even drawing pimples on the face.
Sally was pleased with the overall effect she had
achieved.
The class
lined up and began throwing darts. Some of the students threw their darts with such force that
their targets were ripping apart.
Sally looked forward to her turn, and was filled with disappointment
when Dr. Smith, because of time limits, asked the students to
return to their seats. As
Sally sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn't have a chance to throw any
darts at her target, Dr. Smith began removing the target from the wall.
Underneath
the target was a picture of Jesus.
A hush fell over the room as each student viewed the
mangled picture of Jesus; holes and jagged marks covered
His face and His eyes were pierced.
Dr. Smith
said only these words... "In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have
done it unto Me."
Matthew 25:40.
No other
words were necessary; the tears filled eyes of the students focused only on the picture of Christ.
This is an
easy test; you score 100 or
zero.
It's your choice.
If
you aren't ashamed to do this,
please follow the directions.
Jesus said,
"If you are ashamed of me,
I will be ashamed of you, before My Father."
Not ashamed
... pass this on.
Ashamed ... delete it.
Isn't
it funny how simple it is for people to trash
God and then wonder why the world's going to hell?
Isn't it
funny how we believe what the newspapers say,
but question what the Bible says?
Isn't it
funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided
they do not have to believe, think, say, or do
anything the Bible says? Or is it scary?
Isn't it
funny how someone can say "I believe in God"
but
still follow Satan (who, by the way, also
"believes" in God )?
Isn't it
funny how you can send a thousand jokes through
e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start
sending
messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about
sharing?
Isn't it
funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass
freely
through cyberspace, but the public discussion
of Jesus is suppressed in the school and workplace?
Isn't it
funny how someone can be so fired up for Christ
on Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the
week?
Are you
laughing?
Isn't
it funny how when you go to forward this message,
you will not send it to many on your address list
because you're
not sure what they believe, or what they will think
of you for sending it to them?
Isn't it
funny how I can be more worried about
what other people think of me than what God thinks of me?
