The Gospel Message

福音很簡單,好像考試果然來了,可是都沒有同學認真念,大家一律都不及格。老師看到大家都不及格,就說要及格的話,只要拜託老師就可以及格。

大部分的同學不信,可是有幾個願意試試看:他們就很厚臉皮地去拜託老師,請讓他們及格,老師就讓他們及格。

那些不信的同學對那幾個厚臉皮的同學說,「為什麼老師讓你們及格可是沒讓我們及格呢?」

厚臉皮的同學回答說,「我們拜託老師,你們沒有拜託老師啊!」

The gospel is very simple. It's like a class where no one has studied for the test at all and so everyone fails. The teacher sees this and says that anyone who wants to pass needs only to ask him to let them pass, and he will pass them.

Most of the students don't believe him, but a few students do take him up on his offer, swallow their pride, and go and ask him to pass them, and the teacher does pass them, just like he said he would.

The other students are jealous and say to them, "How come he passed you and not me?"

The students who asked to be passed reply, "Well, I asked and you didn't!"

- Aaron Heidel (a ruling elder of New Hope Christian Fellowship)
