A PARABLE

A man was driving his Ford car on a busy road when it suddenly broke down. Unable to get it going, he summoned a mechanic who worked on it for quite a while unsuccessfully. Other mechanics from the garage came to help, but no one could locate the problem. A man, who had been watching with keen interest, finally came forward and offered his services, which were gladly accepted by the tired mechanics. To their astonishment, he located the problem immediately and fixed it instantly! On enquiring about his credentials, they were shocked out of their wits to discover that he was Henry Ford himself, the designer/engineer and creator of Ford cars!
A LESSON TO LEARN
When our bodies break down, who, more than the Creator Himself, knows us inside out, can locate the problem instantly and fix it in the wink of an eye? But before we go to Him or to his mechanics, we first try fixing the problem ourselves, then try other mechanics until all possible alternatives fail. Some of us lose all hope and abandon our vehicle to the scrap yard! A few of us seek out our Creator’s authentic mechanics through whom he works, and have experienced a complete overhaul and a brand new life! Praise the Lord!

In John 10:10 Jesus says, “I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.”
