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
有一個人他很相信上帝,他自己這么說啦!不管怎么樣
他都說上帝會救他,他不甩任何人。有一天那個地方
發生大洪水,水漲很高,他快被淹死了,他爬到
屋頂上面,在那里求上帝幫忙,說上帝一定會來救他。
忽然間,就有一個船過來啦!劃船的人說:
「過來,過來!我帶你出去安全的地方。」他搖頭說:
「不!我等上帝,上帝一定會來救我,我只相信上帝,
祂是唯一救命的力量,我不跟你去了。」
現在水越漲越高了,漲到連屋頂也快不見了,
所以他又在那邊求上帝。忽然間,一架直升機飛過來了,
有人從直升機丟一條繩子下來叫他爬上來。
他說:「不,不!你不是啦!你不值得救我,
我等上帝來救我的命。」過一會兒,圣彼得來接他啦!果然上帝派
圣彼得來接他。到了天堂以后,那個人又怪上帝說:
「我一輩子相信您,您怎么不來救我、怎么不理我呢?
水漲很高,而你卻讓我淹死啊!」結果上帝就說:
「你是什么意思?我有送一條船,然后又送一架直升機
去救你,你還說什么我沒來,你都拒絕嘛!」
