The Book of Irony Chapter 1
1. There once was a puppy abandoned by his father. He was taken in by a band of ravening wolves.
2. He learned from them, and became large in stature and pleasing in their sight.
3. He captured many sheep for them because of his words and his works and his vigor.
4. His results were pleasing unto his masters, but promised blessings from God did not come.
5. He worked and worked and studied and learned, but still blessings did not come.
6. And many sheep were taken by his efforts.
7. Then one day his God took him from their midst and told him happiness was in being a good shepherd and gave him to the flock.
8. And when the wolves came to fall upon the flock, he knew how to fight them.
9. He was used to hard works and placed his learning and stature against them to protect the remaining sheep.
10. His outward efforts were proof of his inner love for the Lord.
11. And some sheep were protected from some wolves, and the wolves began to fear him.
12. And he said unto them “Fear me not, but fear the Lord, for by his power and command I protect his sheep.”
13. And the elders of the wolves proclaimed “he was never one of us” and ran away.
14. But the Sentinel stayed on guard, for he knew they would return....and no one fights off wolves like one raised and trained by them.
15. And he was not alone.
Excellent Sentinel.
Sounds like the Apostle Paul
Christ used parables, so I thought I would give it a shot. I tire of people telling us we are not what we claim to be. Maybe the lurkers now know more of our stories.
