- 1 Peter 5:5
I'm reminded of a Christmas story in which Jesus appears to a man in his dream and tells him that he will visit him on Christmas day. He is very joyful, makes great preparations and waits for Jesus on the day.
The day come, the man eagerly waits with a lavish feast and best arrangements in his home. He hears a knock and goes to the door to check. It would be a beggar asking for a little food or money ! He gets disappointed. Not wanting to waste time, he shoos him away.
After sometime an old lady comes and asks for some heat since it is very cold outside. He says he doesnt have any space.
This goes on a couple of times and the man always shoves them away with one or the other reason since he is waiting for his main guest - Jesus.
The day goes by and Jesus doesnt come.
In his dream, the man sees Jesus and asks him, "Jesus, I waited for you all day. Why didnt you come ? "
Jesus answered , "I came not once but many times. The beggar, the old woman, the cripple .. they were all me"
