A little boy on a farm illustrated this concept of Christianity. One day the pastor came to visit and was sitting in the living room visiting withy the boy’s mother. The preacher was seated in a corner chair, so the boy did not see him as he came running into the room with a rat by the tail.
The boy said, “Mama, I found this rat and I hit him with a board, and then I threw him against the barn, and then I kicked him, and then I stomped him…”
At that moment, the boy caught a glimpse of the preacher, so he turned to the preacher and continued, “and then, Pastor, the Lord called him home”
