Hello to all felow Trikers; I just received this in my e-mail & it
got me thinking. So I decided to share it with everyone.
Take care & Ride Free on Three
G-Man
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 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 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. 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?
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!
