Analogy

Today for service at SCBC, we had a visitor do the message for worship. The guy came from China and he LOVED using analogies, me too! He made a race analogy and other stuff...anyway...I don't know why I wanna talk about pennies right now. This week, I used the penny analogy which i learned in Sunday school a while ago. I taught my JP friend Saki about sin and how we shouldn't judge. We were on the phone talking about Angel a's b-day party and how I wasn't attending because of fellowship. GO DIDO'! And she was deciding if she should go to the b-day party too because barely anyone she hung out with was going to the party. Anyway so we began talking about people and we got to a person that many people didn't like that was going to the party. I told her how we shouldn't judge...'cuz it was sorta like a sin...right? I told her how even though the person invited to the party does a lot of bad stuff like cheat, drink and other stuff that was abusive to her body or not good for her mental health, we shouldn't judge people 'cuz we're all equal. We're all sinners [period] and how bad we abuse our body or simply tell a little lie, we still have sinned and though our sin may have been murdering someone or considered a big sin, GOD see's it as a sin.

(this is where the analogy comes in)

we see murdering as a big sin and a small lie a tiny sin, which is like murder = big pile of pennies and lie = 1 penny. We see the pile of pennies from the side and judge others, but GOD looks from above and when we look at the pile, the penny pile lookes the same. so 1 sin = 1 sin. No matter how big the sin is, it's still considered a sin...

(and i must conclude)
Hence, we shouldn't judge.

Saki said it was a good analogy. she LOVES it too. i'm happy. She told another friend about the analogy. I'm happy.
