An Analogy

An Analogy
By Jesus Radicals member wildermuthn.

An analogy:

A man must take a pill at noon every day, or he dies within 5 minutes.
We know that his pills have been replaced by a poison that kills a person in 5 seconds.
Both pills look exactly the same.

We arrive at his house at 11:59 with the real pills.
We tell him about the poison.
He refuses to believe us.

What do we do?
Do we force him to take the correct pills?
Do we wrestle him to the ground?
How much injury would we be willing to do to him? Anything short of taking his life?

The problem that this analogy brings to light is the problem facing the world.

It is the problem of Truth.

The entire world is in darkness.

Do we use Force to make it see the light?

We cannot. It is impossible.

Force can only harm.

The only way we can show the world the truth is by following the example of Christ.

We must take the poison pill.

We must share the Truth by dying for it.

All of you who suffer and sacrifice for the truth - you are my hero.
