The vicar called…

October 4, 2010

I heard this used in a sermon in a local church back home around the time I was applying to LST. And, to be honest, I’d forgotten about it and now I’m slightly envious Quaerentia beat me to it, publishing on my blog. But still, it amuses me, so I’ll share it anyway!

As he was visiting his parishioners one Saturday afternoon, a new pastor stopped at one house and found that no one answered the door. It was clear that someone was home, but he knocked repeatedly and no one appeared. Finally he pulled out his card, wrote “Revelation 3:20″ on the back, and left it in the door.

That Sunday he found the card in the collection basket. Below his message someone had written “Genesis 3:10.”

Revelation 3:20 reads, “Behold I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with me.”

Genesis 3:10 reads, “And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked.”

Which was originally sourced from here.
