This is a story I heard many years back.....this story talks about three kinds of responses........
Jesus was waiting on the road side.......
After sometime.....one of the followers of Christ came...in a car.....
This person has seen Christ is standing at the side of the road...
But...that person was busy.....he(she)thought...why I should waste my time by talking to Jesus.....he went.....pretending that he/she didn't see Jesus....
But Christ realised that......he is one of his followers......
Jesus was on the road side.....
After sometime one more person.....
Christ looked eagerly at him........whether he will stop or not..?
Surprisingly....he stopped..and asked to Jesus.....Hello Jesus..where you want to go?
....Jesus said.....I want to go to a Dalit's house....that family is really wants my presence...as they are discriminated by the upper caste people....
When he heard...he thought for a while......and said....sorry Jesus....
I am not going that way....I am going towards other direction.....and he went....
Jesus was on the road side.....
One more person came.....
She immediately realised the person who is standing on the road side.....Yes...it is Christ...she stopped her car and get out of the car...and wished and received him....
She did not asked him....where you want to go...instead said....Lord...get in to the driver's seat...and drive this car according to your will.....
Jesus was waiting for such a response......
He said to her...thank you daughter....Jesus led her life(journey) according to Jesus' will....
Are we too busy to avoid Jesus...don't have time to spare to Jesus...?
Some time we would like to drive the car according to our will and wish....by sidelining Christ....We always like to drive our car by ourselves...we want Jesus..but we are not ready to give the driving seat to him....
Let us give the driving seat to Jesus...let him drive...let him control our life......not our will but God's will...some times we may travel the places we do not know...we may meet the people we discriminated... people in tears....struggles......journey with our Christ will be an eye opening journey.....
Are we ready for that....?
