A Cheesy Gospel Analogy

On the very last night of EasterCamp before the start of the main meeting Mike ran up to me and told me to follow him. He took me to around so that I could see the edge of the crowd where a large perimeter fence had been set up in a circle. He told me to lean on his shoulder so that I could see what was held within the perimeter fence and to tell him what I could see. Perplexed I did as I was told. I could see a digger in the circle and said as much. He prompted me and asked what else I could see. I gazed oblivious until suddenly I noticed that there was a caravan in the circle which I commented on. Mike grinned at me happily as I put 2 and 2 together to get ... Digger demolishing Caravan!!!!! :D Oh the joy. I quickly went and found one of my mates from Westchurch and told him to follow me. I asked what he could see in the circle. He saw the digger and the caravan and sat there looking perplexed. I waited expectantly as the penny dropped. His eyes lit up. Quickly both of us ran back to Westchurch and grabbed 2 more of our mates to share the good news.

Afterwards it struck me that this is the way I should be about Jesus. It was just a simple caravan being trashed by a digger. Whereas the Good News that I have to share is about God and His love. While I quickly went to grab all mates to show them a digger and a caravan I am less prepared to grab my friends to show them God.

Anyway there is only so much cheese a body can handle. God bless and good night.
