“I know” said Mr. Atom
“No you don’t!” replied the infuriated Mr. Screw hitting hard on the aged worn out mahogany table.
“Yes I do, I’ve studied this for years” shot back Mr. Atom. “I can prove it. After years of study, logic, evaluation and devaluation I’ve come to up with this simple conclusion ‘everything is just what you figure it to be. If it’s right to you then it is; if it is wrong then it is. That’s it period! Here…”
He held up a cup and with a calculative gesture let it go. The cup hit the floor and shattered into small pieces.
“There. You see, every action is countered by a reaction. Notice one thing. The distance between the wholesome cup and the floor determines the impact and the number of chips we can gather afterward.
Simple math!” He flung his hands with bloated satisfaction.
“That’s nothing. Totally pointless! Actually you not only miss the point but you sound confused.
Get it from me loud and clear.
You got to sit and listen to yourself. See inside out and vise versa. Get lost in the world around you. Travel far beyond. Reach out and grab the being in the emptiness. Then and only then will you know what the true passage is to the hereafter. This is it!”
“Hey, hey do you think I have spent all these years buried in every experiment and script I could get hold of just to end up here?
Never! I have actually met countless others with similar or far worse distortions”.
And so the argument gyrated on and on.
Tempers were flaring and shirts were soaking up with perspiration. None of the two would give in to the other or bow out.
As they shouted and dug their heels in, they attracted the attention of Mr. Neno who was deep in his regular routine of study next door.
A fight was imminent. Each of the two men was convinced that he was right and content with what he knew. None thought that he needed any couching especially concerning the hereafter.
Where, when and who, were the key questions that kept bouncing back on each of them.
Mr. Neno stealthily tiptoed to the already dim room. He leaned on the doorframe and listened.
“There is nothing like future after decease, nothing. Everything simply ends here!” roared Mr. Atom.
“Hold, hold guys, just hold it right there” interrupted Mr. Neno joining the tense couple.
“I have thoughtfully listened to all your arguments and am amazed at how brilliant your ideas are.
Actually each of you has a point. But you need to refocus your orientations.
“We don’t need your good for nothing fables!” shouted Mr. Screw
“Hey, hey …” interrupted Mr. Scholar, “Leave him alone. I read somewhere that every fool has some degree of logic”.
They both chuckled as they disdainfully settled back to listen to Mr Neno.
He knew where to begin.
After making a silent call to his daddy he explained and expounded the one and only Truth, the way to eternity.
The two men were dumbfounded as they keenly listened to what flooded their hearts with awe and light. Nobody had ever spoken to them in this manner before.
Finally Mr. Neno wound up by “This is what He says in John 14:6, New King James version; “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me””
See guys. There, is no other way to the father and the eternity we are all destined to.
He is the bridge between our fallen nature and the father!
For the next three days he spent hour after another shedding more light to the truth. They finally found the unspeakable joy of freedom in the savior.
