There was an egg- inside was a little yellow chick waiting to get out from its shell, and the egg was lying between her mother’s legs. The mother was so fond of the nature that she tells her son (the egg lah) how beautiful her surroundings were. The conversation goes like this:
Mother: “U know, it’s so pretty here…”
Egg: “I don’t believe it.”
Mother: “Well Son, you see, God made all sorts of things out here! Example, the flowers- lily, tulips, carnations… Wow, what a joy to see all these COLOURS!”
Egg: “U r wrong mami! I don’t see anything beautiful! I see BLACK everywhere!”
Mother: “But Son, when u get out from your shell, the first things you’ll see is the beautiful bright LIGHT from the Sun, and that light shone sweetly on the flowers, grass and trees, allowing them to grow well…”
Egg: “U r wrong again-lah mami! If the sun truly exists, why am I in the DARK??! I don’t believe in such things like u said just now. There is no Sun, there is no LIGHT!”
Mother: “Why won’t u believe in all these simple things?”
Egg: “How can I believe there is light when I’m in darkness? How can I see those beautiful things when all I see is a black wall surrounding me?”
Jeng Jeng Jeng!! After a period of time (less than 2 weeks), the egg hatched and a little yellow chick came out from its shell.
Chick: “I’m no longer an egg! I’m a chick! Soon I’ll be a chicken like you Mami!”
After saying these, he opened his eyes and he immediately saw all those beautiful things his mother once said when he was still an egg. And he was amazed!! Seriously, he flapped his wings hard and he jumped so high until he’s at the same level with the donkey! (Can a chicken do that?? Haha, bidaa~) Now he believed that God did create such beautiful things- butterflies, flowers, trees, green grass, donkeys, roosters, ducks, dogs, cats, rocks, the river, the sky, the wind, the sun; including the LIGHT.
All those who did not know God is like an Egg. Being surrounded by that ‘darkness’ and ‘gloomy black walls’ avoids us from seeing and hearing The Truth about Jesus. It is hard for us to accept The Truth if we are not yet re-born in the Spirit. To be re-born into another New Life is to accept Christ Jesus into our lives is. All we need to do is open our hearts to the Good News rather than opening our eyes because: “Happy are those who believe yet do not see” kan… Hehe. You know, unless we demolish that stupid black wall (Our sins and bad habits) that keeps us away from Him, we are not able to see Him coming to us in His radiant light!
*So Brothers and Sisters, to be re-born into a new Life like that chick felt after cracking open his shell, what must we do? Easy- DO THE SAME! Crack open our ‘walls’ that had kept us in darkness for years, and let His Light sip thru’ the cracks, and after we gain enough energy to move on, tear down the whole wall with His help, and let yourself be surrounded by His full LIGHT!! Every time u open the shell of the hard-boiled egg kan, remember to praise God for all those wonderful things around you, and pray that U will no longer be surrounded by dark walls that keeps you away from His love. Peace-Meow! Jesus loves you! =P
