R
The Father said to his children, ''Do not go into the kitchen and do not touch the stove. Do you understand?''
The children replied, ''yes.''
The Father went away on a trip and while he was gone, the rebellious child said to the obedient child, ''why did Father say we ought not go into the kitchen?'' The obedient child said, ''I don't know, but he said not to.'' Then the rebellious child said to the obedient child, '' there isn't anything wrong with the kitchen. I am going to go into the kitchen.'' So he went into the kitchen. And he called from the kitchen to the obedient child and said, ''why did Father say we ought not touch the stove!''
And the obedient child said, ''I don't know but he said not to.'' And the rebellious child said, ''there is nothing wrong with the stove, I am going to touch it.'' And as soon as he touched it he was burned. 3rd degree burns. He yelled and screamed. He ran to the obedient child and said, ''Help help! I am burning!!'' And the obedient child said to the rebellious child, ''wait until dad gets home and he will put something on it.'' But the rebellious child said, ''I cannot tell him, I have to hide it.''
The Father came home and he called for his children. And he asked them, ''Did you stay out of the kitchen?'' And they both said, ''yes Father.'' And he asked again, '' And did you not touch the stove like I said?'' And they both said, yes Father.'' And then the Father said, '' Then tell me, you rebellious child, why are you hiding your hands?'' They both were struck with fear, even the obedient child. And the father said, ''Both of you, put out your hands.'' They put out their hands and the rebellious child showed burns, badly. The Father was full of anger. And the rebellious child was punished, and the obedient child was blessed.
Are you rebellious? Or are you obedient?
May Jesus bless you.
