A young lady named Sally, relates an experience she had in seminary class, given by her teacher, who we will call Brother Smith.
Sally said Brother Smith was known for his elaborate object lessons. One particular day, Sally walked into class and knew they were in for another "fun" day. On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were many darts.
Brother Smith told the students to draw a picture of someone that they disliked or someone who had made them angry...and he would allow them to throw darts at the person's picture.
Sally's girlfriend drew a picture of a girl who had stolen her boyfriend. Another friend drew a picture of his little brother. Sally drew a picture of Brother Smith, putting a great deal of detail into her drawing, drawing even the dimples on his face. Sally was pleased at the overall effect she had achieved.
The class lined up and began throwing darts, with much laughter and hilarity. Some of the students threw their darts with such force that their targets were ripping apart.
Sally looked forward to her turn, and was filled with disappointment when Brother Smith, because of time limits, asked the students to return to their seats.
Brother Smith began removing the target from the wall. Underneath was a picture of Jesus......
A complete hush fell over the room as each student viewed the mangled picture of Jesus..holes and jagged marks covered His face and His eyes were pierced out. Brother Smith said only these words,
"In as much as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me."
No other words were necessary...tears filled eyes of each student as they looked at Jesus picture. The students remained in their seats...even after the bell rang...deep in thought...the simple lesson sinking in.
