There was once a very good King who ruled his country justly. Among his citizens was a wicked man who murdered his rival. He was brought to the court and the judges pronounced death sentence for him. The date was set for anging.
The king was very sorry for this young man and wanted to give him another chance. He thought if he could counsel him and pardon him, he might reform his life. So the King wrote a letter of pardon and dressed up as a priest. He took the letter and went to the prison. He went to the cell were this young man was confined and started counseling him.
The young man was furious. He started using abusive language and shouted at the King who was in priest’s garments. He shouted, “You priests are all cheats. Go away.” The King tried to calm him down and reason with him. But he would not listen. The King was filled with sorrow. He turned and went away. Once the King was out, the gatekeeper came rushing in and asked the young man, “What did the King say?”
“King? What king?” asked the puzzled young man. “The man in priest’s clothes. He was the King and he brought with him your letter of pardon. What did he tell you?” asked the gate- keeper. The young man was stupefied. He sat down with his head on his hands. He had lost his chance. He must die for that.
He died, not because he committed a murder but because he failed to accept the pardon of the King. God reaches out to us in many ways — through a book or Bible, a song, a person or a preaching. We must bow down our heads and receive God’s pardon. Then we will not die; we will live!
