The Guest

Bible (Photo credit: Sean MacEntee)

Behold you have met someone on the street.

“If you take me home with you and give me a place to live I will take care of you.”

It is socially acceptable to take this one home.  In fact it is a badge of honor.  So home with you, you did take him.

Prepare him a room.  Make the bed soft and comfortable.  Entertain him at breakfast.  Set two plates for lunch, for you will need them.   prepare for a protracted dinner for he loves to talk of his homeland.

Do you find you love his company?  Or has this invitation to reside become a stench?  You have asked what his name is.  He is the Holy Word of God. Affectionately nicknamed the Bible.

Far too many have taken him home and chained him up like a dog in the backyard.
