There was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much. Everyday
after work the man would come home and play with the little boy. He
would always spend all of his extra time playing with the little boy.
One night, while the man was at work, he realized that he had extra work
to do for the evening, and that he wouldn't be able to play with his
little boy. But, he wanted to be able to give the boy something to keep
him busy. So, looking around his office, he saw a magazine with a large
map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He removed the map, and
then patiently tore it up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces
in his coat pocket.
When he got home, the little boy came running to him and was ready to
play. The man explained that he had extra work to do and couldn't play
just now, but he led the little boy into the dining room, and taking out
all the pieces of the map, he spread them on the table. He explained
that it was a map of the world, and that by the time he could put it
back together, his extra work would be finished, and they could both
play. Surely this would keep the child busy for hours, he thought.
About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, "Okay, it's
finished. Can we play now?"
The man was surprised, saying, "That's impossible. Let's go see." And
sure enough, there was the picture of the world, all put together, every
piece in its place.
The man said, "That's amazing! How did you do that?" The boy said, "It
was simple. On the back of the page was a picture of Jesus. When I put
Jesus together the whole world fell into place."
