The Preaching Goose

Preaching Goose. 

Soren Kierkegaard was a Danish Theologian who lived from 1813 to 1855. He related a homely parable about a flock of geese that milled around in a filthy barnyard imprisoned by a high wooden fence.

Preaching goose came, stood on old crate admonished geese for being content (ripped it into 'em).

Goose recounted exploits of fathers who spread wings and flew trackless wastes of sky and spoke of the goodness of the Creator who had given geese the urge to migrate and wings to fly.

This pleased the geese, they marvelled at his eloquent words,

nodded their heads,

applauded his preaching;

just then Mrs Farmer came in with some good corn so they waddled off; 

after having their fill they gaggled for years about the greatness of the preaching goose.

They never did fly.

Will you do what you were made for?

If we don't have change the past will be the present and the future

boring, lifeless, useless, dead

Abraham would still be in Ur of the Chaldees (Iraq).

Moses would have been the next Pharaoh of Egypt instead of Israel's deliverer.

David would have continued as his brothers lunch boy instead of slaying Goliath.

Esther may have lost her life along with thousands of Hebrews, Mordecai said Who knows if you haven't come to the kingdom for such a time as this.

Nehemiah would still be serving wine to King Artaxerxes in Susa instead of motivating a bunch of no hoper Hebrews to build a wall around Jerusalem.

Peter & John would still be out fishing for lunch instead of changing the world as Christs apostles.

Paul would still be a religious narrow minded, threatening, murdering bully instead of converting the gentiles to Jesus.
