Which One?
One early morning, as he rummage through the
garbage bins to find food, a homeless man stumbles upon a box with a note on the
outside: “Within this box are two compartments that will change your life
forever”. “You can choose only ONE!”
He proceeded to open the box: There was
another note on the inside: “Open the first the right compartment”
Right Compartment: Within was the Authorize King
James version of the Holy Bible with a hand written note:
Jesus, the only begotten Son of God says: “Blessed
are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the
kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:10).
“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon
earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and
steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor
rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where
your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:19-21).
“How hardly shall they that have riches enter
into the Kingdom of God” (Luke 18:24).
“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the
Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of
the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God” (Revelation
2:7).
Left Compartment: Within is the latest smartphone
with instructions to turn on and to play the voice note:
“May name is anonymous, and you have exactly
nine (9) minutes to agree.”
“I have been observing you for sometime. I
have no children to leave my wealth and riches.”
“There is a folder marked “keys to my wealth”.
To give you an example: Swiss bank accounts in the millions, fully staffed mansions
in major cities, private islands, private jets, luxury cars and the list goes
on.”
“However, you must agree to follow the strict
guidelines of the Trustee of my Estate to preserve this wealth for the next person
who shall be chosen upon your death.”
“Finally, you will have a luxury lifestyle
but, you will end up like the rich man in the biblical story of Lazarus and the
rich man (Luke 16:19-31).”
The clock in ticking and you have six (6)
minutes.
What
if we were in this homeless man’s position, which compartment would we choose?
