Learned lawyer, with intentions to drown Jesus
In that high tide of theological thoughts
Bombarded with questions concerning eternal life
Drifting also into an endless ocean
Of pseudo philosophical analysis
Hoping Jesus, the carpenter, unable to swim
Will eventually surrender, if Jesus did not sink!
But Jesus, the storyteller stunned the lawyer
With just a little story that strangled the prosecutor!
“A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho”
Jesus, began his story
“And fell into the hands of robbers
Who stripped him, and beat him
Going away, leaving him half dead
Now by chance a priest went down that road
And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side
Likewise a Levite came to the place and saw the injured
And passed by on the other side
But a Native while traveling came near him
Seeing him, he was moved with pity
Went to him and bandaged his wounds
Having poured cold water on them
He put the injured on his own vehicle
Brought him to an Emergency Center
With no counting of the cost!”
Ending the story abruptly, Jesus stirred the emotion
With that provocative question:
“Which of these three, do you think was a human?”
Adding to it an affirmation of his faith:
“Be human, and you will be housed in Eternal Home!”
