Once there was a king in the town. The minister who was under the king heard about the love of Jesus, believed in him and became a christian. Since then he was sharing the love of Jesus with everyone. The king after hearing about Jesus asked minister, if at all Jesus is GOD, to save the sinners just one word is enough. Why was there a necessity for Jesus to come into this world as a human? if I give an order to any of my servants, within seconds the work will be done. In the same way GOD can perform miracles.
In spite of all the efforts by the minister, he was unable to explain the king, the love of GOD. So he called up a carpenter and asked him to make a sculpture of the 1year old prince and dressed him with clothes and jewels. The next day when the king started to sail on a boat, minister made an attempt to hand over the sculpture of the prince to him but intentionally he forsook the sculpture into the water. After seeing this, the king hurriedly jumped into the water.
After taking out the sculpture from the water, the king angrily asked the minister What is this..?!. For that minister humbly said, O king..! if your son has fallen in the water why you have jumped into the water ? You would have ordered your soldiers to jump into the water and as your command they would have done it. For that the king said, he is my loving son so my love for him made me to jump into the water to save him. For that minister said, In the same way the almighty father came into this world meekly in a cattle shed just because of his unconditional Love.
