THE MAN BEHIND THE WORLD
MY UNCLE TOLD A STORY OF HARRY, A YOUNG BOY THAT WAS LIVING WITH HIS GRAND MOTHER.
HARRY WAS SUCH A STUBBORN BOY WHO NEVER ALLOWED GRANDMA TO HAVE REST. ON THIS OCCASION GRANDMA WANTED TO REST BUT NOT UNTIL SHE HAS KEPT HARRY SO BUSY THAT HE WILL NOT HAVE THE TIME TO COME KNOCK ON HER DOOR.SO, GRANDMA DECIDED TO GIVE HARRY A VERY TEDIOUS ASSIGMENT WHICH WAS BEYOND THE ABILITY OF LITTLE HARRY.
SHE HAD TWO WORLD MAPS ON THE WALL OF THE PARLOUR SO, SHE DECIDED TO TEAR ONE INTO TINY PIECES.SHE KEPT THE PIECES ON THE CENTER TABLE AND CALLED ON HARRY: “BOY, GRANDMA IS GOING TO TAKE A NAP, ON THIS TABLE YOU SEE THE PIECES OF THE MAP OF THE WORLD. ALL YOU DO IS TO ARRANGE THESE PIECES SO THAT IT CAN LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE ONE ON THE WALL. I WANT ALL THE VARIOUS CONTINENTS, AND COUNTRIES OF THE WORLD NEATLY ARRANGED LIKE THE ONE ON THE WALL AND WHEN YOU ARE TRUE, JUST KNOCK ON MY DOOR AND I WILL GIVE YOU YOUR ICE CREAM.”
GRANDMA LEFT HARRY IN THE MIDST OF THE CONFUSION AND LEFT FOR HER ROOM TO SLEEP. EXACTLY FIFTEEN MINUTES AFTER HARRY WAS BACK AT THE DOOR AND SHOUTING FOR GRANDMA TO BRING HIS ICE CREAM. IN GREAT FURY, GRANDMA WOKE UP FROM THE RELAXING OCEAN OF SLEEP SHE WAS ABOUT TO CRUX ON. BY THE TIME SHE CAME OUT, SHE WAS “FEARFULLY AMAZED”WHEN SHE SAW THAT THE MAP OF THE WORLD HAD BEEN PROPERLY ARRANGED BY HARRY. HOW COME HARRY? WHO HELPED YOU? HOW POSSIBLE? GRANDMA ASKED.
HARRY LAUGHED AT THE IGNORANCE AND SURPRISE OF GRANDMA AND HE SAID: “GRANDMA! YOU LEFT ME WITH A BUNDLE OF CONFUSION; I DIDN’T KNOW WHERE ANY CONTINENT SHOULD BE LOCATED.THE PIECES WERE SO TINY THAT I DIDN’T KNOW WHERE TO START FROM. BUT JUST BEFORE I GAVE UP ON THIS ASSIGNMENT I NOTICED SOMETHING INTERESTING; BEHIND THE PIECES I NOTICE A PICTURE OF A MAN WHOSE BODY PARTS HAVE BEEN TORN IN PIECES. I TURNED A SECOND PIECES UPSIDE DOWN, AND NOTICED THE SAME THING, SO I DECIDED TO FOCUS MY MIND ON THE PICTURE OF THE MAN BEHIND THE WORLD. I DID NOT KNOW WHERE THE VARIOUS CONTINENTS OF THE WORLD ARE, BUT ONE THING I KNOW; I KNOW WHERE THE HEAD OF THE MAN SHOULD BE, WHERE HIS HANDS AND OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY SHOULD. SINCE THERE IS MAN BEHIND THE BEHIND THE MAP OF THE WORLD, IF I AM ABLE TO PUT THE MAN BEHIND THE WORLD IN HIS PROPER POSITION, THEN I WILL PUT THE MAP OF THE WORLD IN ORDER. BY THE TIME I WAS THROUGH ARRANGING THE MAN BEHIND THE WORLD, I DISCOVERED I HAVE EVENTUALLY ARRANGED THE MAP OF THE WORLD.THIS IS UNBELIEVEABLE GRANDMA RESPONDED.
FRIEND, THERE IS A MAN BEHIND THE WORLD. JESUS IS THE MAN BEHIND THE WORLD.
YOUR LIFE MAY BE FILLED WITH CONFUSION AND EVERYTHING IS IN DISARRAY, BUT I PRESENT TO YOU JESUS: THE MAN BEHIND THE WORLD.
IN THE MIDST OF YOUR CONFUSION, YOU CAN BEHAVE LIKE THE LITTLE HARRY, FOCUS YOUR ATTENTION ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. LET HIM BE GIVEN HIS RIGTHFUL POSITION IN YOUR LIFE, AND EVERY OTHER THING WILL FALL IN LINE. NO WONDER THE BIBLE SAYS: “BUT SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU” (MATT 6: 33).
HE IS INEXHAUSTIBLE
