THE 'SAINTS DAILY MOVIE

It so happened that i visited heaven last month.At the main gate somebody clad in a brown cassock happily welcomed and handed me a guest card .This card was to help me reach every where except where God the father reigns from.
Having got such a golden opportunity,i would`t miss reaching the prominent `indiscriminate` but feared judgment throne of God -the-son.It was a serious occasion that left no Angel or saints relaxed,for they were serious beyond seriousness each one meaning business.
An angel waved me to a seat so I can set my tiered bones relaxed and have my brain switched on to witness the 'Saints daily movie'.
`Ding,dong,ding`` so the bell made it to command silence and attention.`Ladies and gentlemen get ready`.a fine soft voice was heard.
On a wide screen appeared a golden table with money and the Bible placed each at a respectable distance from the other.
Three candidates were chosen from among audience, and the game was, each to pick one of the two items from the table (but not both) and go straight to the judge-Jesus- and bargain for his entrance into the fun filled place of pleasantries(paradise).Little did it require one to pick both money and the Bible.

Candidate number one confidently and smartly walked to the table and picked money.
In his bargaining he was to use money for buying the Bible,cater for the sick,offer in the church and blah blah blah. However the judge maintained that, `happy are the poor for the kingdom of God is theres'detesting him.

The second candidate picked the Bible and proceeded to the bargaining table.`your word is life,my lord,for even the stubborn devil bows down to your word` he said.This was also disqualified and the audience murmured until the bell rang in command of silence.

A Jesuit theologian priest surfaced.On the selection table,he stared at both items and much closely at the 50,000 shilling note.
Amazingly he picked both money and the Bible.This action drew much more great murmuring from the audience.
with no time to waste he confidently walked before the judge and bowed in reverence.

`why have you chosen both as if you don`t know the rule of the game'asked Jesus.In defense the priest calmly said,`your majesty my lord, I hope and very well know that you watched every step of mine. I bowed to thank you for giving us such wonderful gifts`.(referring to money and the Bible) Basing on your word that earthly things should make us know heavenly things,i picked both`.he said.
The judge smiled at the priest and said `you are cleared.`The bell rang for us to get out for the show was over.
