Monday Modern Parable ~ Tight Rope Walker

The tight rope walker set up his line across Niagara Falls much to the amazement of the crowd. They watched as he walked back and forth with ease. He then filled a wheelbarrow with sand bags and walked it across. People were stunned! They clapped and cheered as he did it several times while making it look like a walk in the park. Then he asked the crowd “Do you believe I can do this with a person in the wheelbarrow?” They cheered and shouted emphatically “YES!” Then he went up to each person and said he would take them across safely. What would your response be? I don’t know if you would put your trust in him when it came to your life and safety. Many people believe Jesus when he says he is God’s Son sent to earth to save many, but how many actually believe in Him? Put their trust in Him? Believing is one thing, believing in is entirely different. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! (James 2:19)
