THE CAVE
There was once a dark cave, deep
down in the ground, underneath the earth and hidden away from view. Because it
was so deep in the earth, the light had never been there. The cave had never
seen light. The word 'light' meant nothing to the cave, who couldn't imagine
what 'light' might be.
Then one day the sun sent an
invitation to the cave, inviting it to come up and visit.
When the cave came up to visit
the sun it was amazed and delighted because the cave had never seen light
before, and it was dazzled by the wonder of the experience.
Feeling so grateful to the sun
for inviting it to visit, the cave wanted to return the kindness so it invited
the sun to come down to visit it sometime, because the sun had never seen
darkness.
So the day came and the sun came
down and was courteously shown into the cave.
As the sun entered the cave, it
looked around with great interest, wondering what 'darkness' would be like.
Then it became puzzled and asked the cave, "Where is the
darkness???'"
Matthew 5:14-16:
You are the light of the
world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a
candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light
unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they
may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
