Dart
Test...
THIS IS A POWERFUL MESSAGE. PLEASE READ ALL OF IT.
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..............
Dart Test...
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.
