Darts
A young lady named Sally, relates an experience she had in a Seminary Class,
given by her teacher, Dr. Smith. She says 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 girlfriend 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. Sally was pleased
at the overall effect she had achieved.
The class lined up and began throwing darts, with much laughter and
hilarity. 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 complete hush fell over the 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 tear-filled eyes of each student focused
only on the picture of Christ.
