One day, two men, a pastor and a taxi driver went up to heaven on the same day. Before passing the heaven gates, they were asked, "Why should you be allowed to enter the heaven gates?" Being a pastor and a Christian taxi driver, they answered the right answer, saying that they believed and trust in God, through their mouths they've confessed their sins, repent and gave their lives to God.
Both of them crossed the gates. Not far, they saw an angel awaiting to post them to their places. Being a pastor who's more fit than the flabby taxi driver, he ran forward, as fast as his legs could carry him. When he reached, the angel reminded him, "The first shall be the last, and the last shall be the first." So the pastor could do nothing but only let the taxi driver in front of him.
The angel then told the taxi driver. "Your house is the bangalow over there in the garden of flowers and meadows. This is the key, you may go now." Having heard this, the pastor thought to himself, "Since the taxi driver could get such a high class place, me, being in a higher status, would be far better off then him." Anxiously, he stepped forward. The angel then told him, "Your house is the little hut down the valley." Shocked and devastated, the pastor asked why. This was why explained the angel..
The taxi driver drives passengers, and the passengers never fails to pray on the journey, but you preached in the assembly of people, they fell asleep!
The moral of the story is: Don't sleep when your pastor is preaching or else you'll get them in trouble when they go to heaven. haha~
The was the beginning of a story one of our brother in Christ shared with us that kept me awake during the sermon.
Some of us, youths, stayed for jamming after church. It was really fun as we had fun singing and playing in the midst of believers together. It's just priceless.
