THIS IS A
POWERFUL MESSAGE. PLEASE READ ALL OF IT.
I AM
PASSING IT ON BECAUSE I AM CERTAINLY NOT ASHAMED TO DO
SO.
In
light of the many jokes we send to one another for
a laugh, this is a little different: This is
not intended to be a joke, it's not funny, it's intended to
get you thinking..............
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 a girl 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 ... delet
e it.
Isn't it fun! 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.
Will YOU
pass this on? I did! ! !
