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 room 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.
