A Parable from a Parable
A man was listening to Jesus sharing about
lifes' intentions. He said, "No matter how others may try to open your
heart, if you lock it to the core, no one can open it. They will end up looking
for other ways." What do you mean Lord, ask the man. The Lord says,
those who do not enter the gate but climbs over elsewhere is a thief and a
robber. You don't want to be a thief nor a robber, don't you? "No,
Lord." answered the man. "Very well then my child. Enter the gate as
long as the owner allows you to. Not by force but only by grace.
Christ said further, "But whoever enters
through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. Enter the gate then, not
elsewhere, least you be accused of stealing or robbery. Strive to be the shepherd
my child not the thief or the robber, to knock and serve not to steal and destroy.
What if the person won't open Lord? Ask the
man. The Lord answered, "Greet the person with peace and if the person
does not, then take the dust off from your feet and move on to another town.
For blessed are those whose eyes that can see and ears that can hear."
