''The Son, the Son, who'll take the Son?''
This is a great story, please read!

A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art..

When the Vietnam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.


About a month later, just before Christmas,


There was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands..


He said, 'Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly... He often talked about you, and your love for art.' The young man held out this package.
'I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this.'

The father

Opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture.. 'Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift.'

The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.

The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.

On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel.
'We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture?'

There was silence...

Then a voice in the back of the room shouted, 'We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one.'

But the auctioneer persisted 'Will somebody bid for this painting? Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?'

Another voice angrily. 'We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Gogh's, the Rembrandts. Get on with the Real bids!'

But still the auctioneer continued. 'The son! The son! Who'll take the son?'

Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. 'I'll give $10 for the painting...' Being a poor man, it was all he could afford.

'We have $10, who will bid $20?'
'Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters.'

The crowd was becoming angry They didn't want the picture of the son.
They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections.

The auctioneer pounded the gavel..
'Going once, twice, SOLD for $10!'

A man sitting on the second row shouted, 'Now let's get on with the collection!'

The auctioneer laid down his gavel. 'I'm sorry, the auction is over.'

'What about the paintings?'

'I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will... I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings.

The man who took the son gets everything!'

God gave His son over 2,000 years ago to die on the Cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is: 'The Son, the Son, who'll take the Son?'

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, WHO SO EVER BELIEVETH, SHALL HAVE ETERNAL LIFE...THAT'S LOVE

Because, you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything!

“Success doesn't change who you are. No, it reveals who you are.”
Do enjoy ur day

Take the moral of the story and learn from it instead on dwelling on what you feel is the negative.

Does not change the fact that it is one of those dumb christian stories aimed at swaying impressionable people. Disgusting

hmmm!!!

it's only a fool that will say there is no God

If you are an Athiest, why not focus on the story and forget the religious part.
the Attack on the name of JESUS is so immature.

Btw Jesus still Loves y'all and He died for y'all as well.

#Peace

Atheists everywhere.

*Whoopz*

oh bless your heart Sir, please read Bible commentaries on the scripture (1 Corinthians 1:27-29) you quoted.

Below is a short version of the right interpretation

God used the disciples of Jesus who had little learning or eloquence to spread the gospel of LOVE, PEACE & GRACE, the weaker (Foolish) the instruments who converted souls for Christ, (2.2 Billion followers now and counting - my prayer is you'll become one someday) the greater was the display of the power of God.

Finally...Am sorry if my post hurt your feelings, but you know "truth is a bitter pill to swallow" Dont you?

BTW Compliments of the Season!!!

dillycool:
Atheists everywhere.

My prayer for them is that

God open the eyes of their understanding to see the light of the truth, LOVE, JOY and GRACE God has made available through His son JESUS who died for all mankind, So we can have eternal Life

Dumb story

There's nothing dumb about it.

There's nothing dumb about it.

Very dumb. Has no bearing with reality. It's a story for those who prefer fantasies to reality.

If you had an opportunity to bid for a house and you are not interested in the picture of the owner's son, what is the big deal. The story had no lessons in it. Interesting but Very dumb

Perfect explanation of what Jesus birth and death means to all who profess his name and obey his commandments.

This would have been a very interesting story if it wasn't for the Jesus's ending.


Honestly, I don't see no correlation
