Something to Remember
A young lady named Sally,
relates an experience she had in Seminary class,
by her teacher, Dr. Smith.
She says Dr. Smith was known for his elaborate object lessons. One particular day,
Sally walked into he class 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.
