Give it a thought

A priest once asked a gathering...” How many of you love Jesus”, and asked them to raise their hands if they really did. Almost every one raised their hands… He continued” I’m going to prove that you are wrong”. There was a hushed resentment among the gathering as to what the priest is about to do for they all were sure they loved Jesus.

The Priest called up a young boy from the crowd who was with his father…and asked

Who is that??” pointing to his father... He replied…
He is my father….”

The priest then pointed to a kid in his fathers hand and asked again

Who is that???
Again came the reply
He is my little young brother”…

He then suddenly pointed to the crucifix of Jesus on the altar and asked the boy again…

Who is that??
Soon came the reply… as if wondering what a question to ask….
That is Jesus Christ

He then asked the gathering again …
Who is that???The crowd replied in unison…
That is Jesus Christ”…

The priest smiled… and declared… I have just proved you wrong!!!!


The priest continued…

You say “My Father, My Brother, My Son, My Wife, My Friend, My Money, My Dog, My car… My, My… My….”…

But you will never say “My Jesus Christ… My God “…
