Such A Believer
A person claimed that he was a hard-core believer of God!
He believed that God would save him in any situation,
so he needed no one except Hirm. One day, there was a
great flood. The water rose so high that he was almost
submerged in it. He climbed onto the roof and prayed
to God for help. He thought that God would definitely
come and save him. Suddenly a boat came along and the
boatman shouted to him: "Come aboard quickly! I will
take you to a safe place." The man shook his head and
said: "No! I am waiting for God. Hes will definitely
come to save me. In Hirm alone I trust. Hes is the
only life-saving force. I am not going with you."
The flood water kept rising until the roof was almost
submerged. He continued to pray to God. Suddenly,
a helicopter flew near and someone lowered a rope
and asked him to climb up. He insisted:"No! No!
You are not my lifesaver! You are not the worthy one.
I am waiting for God to save me.
Very soon, St. Peter went to get him!
Having arrived in Heaven, the man complained to
God: "I believed in You all my life. Why didn't
You respond to my prayers or come to my rescue?
You let me drown in the flood."
God replied: "What do you mean I didn't come to
save you? I sent a boat and then a helicopter to
rescue you, but you turned them away!"
如此信徒
有一个人他很相信上帝,他自己这么说啦!不管怎么样
他都说上帝会救他,他不甩任何人。有一天那个地方
发生大洪水,水涨很高,他快被淹死了,他爬到
屋顶上面,在那里求上帝帮忙,说上帝一定会来救他。
忽然间,就有一个船过来啦!划船的人说:
「过来,过来!我带你出去安全的地方。」他摇头说:
「不!我等上帝,上帝一定会来救我,我只相信上帝,
祂是唯一救命的力量,我不跟你去了。」
现在水越涨越高了,涨到连屋顶也快不见了,
所以他又在那边求上帝。忽然间,一架直升机飞过来了,
有人从直升机丢一条绳子下来叫他爬上来。
他说:「不,不!你不是啦!你不值得救我,
我等上帝来救我的命。」过一会儿,圣彼得来接他啦!果然上帝派
圣彼得来接他。到了天堂以后,那个人又怪上帝说:
「我一辈子相信您,您怎么不来救我、怎么不理我呢?
水涨很高,而你却让我淹死啊!」结果上帝就说:
「你是什么意思?我有送一条船,然后又送一架直升机
去救你,你还说什么我没来,你都拒绝嘛!」
