An old woman came to Abraham?s shop to buy an idol because
some thieves stole her other one and she needed a replacement to protect her
house. Abraham said these words of wisdom in reply: "Is it not foolish to
think that an idol that could not save itself, will save you?" Take these
words of Abraham and place them on the idol Jesus. Is it not foolish to think
Jesus the man who couldn?t save himself, nor his disciples, or his early
followers who died cursed deaths by the hands of the Romans, could save his
present followers? Thus today Christians complain of persecutions in certain non
Christian regions of the world, haven?t even thought about why Jesus, who made
promises of protection, could not deliver on these promises. Didn?t Abraham get
through to them?
