IN AS MUCH...

A young lady by the name of Sally relates an experience she had in a seminary class.  It seems this particular professor was known for his elaborate object lessons.   


On this one day of class, she walked into the classroom and knew they were in for a fun day.  On the was was a huge target, and on a nearby table were a lot of darts.


The professor told the students to draw a picture of someone they disliked a lot, or someone who had made them angry, and he would allow them to throw darts at the person's picture! 
One girl drew a picture of a girl 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.  She was pleased with the overall effect she had achieved!
The class lined up and began throwing darts.  Some threw so hard and with such passion that their pictures were ripping apart!  Sally looked forward to her turn, and was extremely disappointed when the professor asked the students to return to their seats as they were running out of time.  

As Sally sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn't have a chance to throw any darts at her image, the professor began to remove 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.    


The professor said only these words...
"In as much as you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me." 

No words were necessary; the tear-filled eyes of the students focused only on the picture of Christ.   


I don't think any other words are necessary.  I think I'll just let this speak for itself!
A Humble Servant,

Greg
