so i'm at college and we have a lot of activities sponsored by the college at night cos it's a small town in south dakota and otherwise there'd be nothing to do.
i went and saw this comedian/inspirational speaker the other night and i wanted to share with you all one of the best things he said to us.
the context would be him reminding us that our life decisions are in our hands, if we are in a relationship we don't like, change it...etc (his motto was "life is change")
so here's the story...
there were two men in the time of Jesus who doubted His abilities and wanted to prove Him a liar. so they got a bird. "here is my plan," said one to the other. " i will keep this bird in my hand, and ask Jesus to tell me if the bird is alive or if it is dead. if he says it is alive, i will let the bird go."
"well," said the other man, "what if He says it is dead?"
the first man replied, "if Jesus says the bird is dead, i will squeeze it to death in my hand and prove Jesus to be a liar."
so the men figured it to be a fool-proof plan. they learned that Jesus was preaching in town that night...so they headed up there with the bird in on man's hands.
they found Him preaching, and the one man shouted "Jesus...i have a question for you."
"yes, go on," said Jesus.
"is this bird dead or alive?"
"the answer to that," replied Jesus calmly, "is in your hands."
