ENCOURAGING WORDS
The
Dart Test
A
young lady named Sally, relates an experience she had in a seminary
class, given by her teacher, Dr Smith. She says that Dr Smith was known
for his elaborate object lessons. Now 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 some- one 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 friend drew a picture of 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 very pleased with the overall
effect she had achieved.
The class lined up and began throwing darts. 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. Needless to say 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.
It was then that Dr. Smith said only these words..."I tell you
the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of
mine, you did for me." ( Matthew 25:40. ) No other words were necessary;
as tears filled eyes of the students, as they focused only on the mangled
picture of Jesus Christ.Author Unknown
