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.
This is an easy test; you score
100
or
zero.
It's your choice.
