What is Your Target?

I was recently relayed this story of a young seminary student who tells
of an experience she had in a seminary class, given by her professor.
She says this teacher was known for his elaborate object lessons.

One particular day, she walked into the seminary and knew they were in
for a fun day. On the wall was a big target, on a nearby table were
many
darts, and
additionally there were large pads of drawing paper. The teacher told
the students to draw a picture of someone that they disliked or someone
who had made them angry, and he would allow them to throw darts at the
person's picture.

The student's girlfriend drew a picture of a girl who had stolen her
boyfriend. Another friend drew a picture of his father.
She drew a picture of her high school principal, putting a great deal
of
detail into her drawing. The young lady was pleased at the overall
effect she had achieved.

The class, each taking his or her turn, lined up, pinned up their
drawing and began throwing darts. With much laughter and hilarity they
threw their darts. Some, with such force that their drawings & the
target was ripping apart.

The young student looked forward to her turn, and was filled with
disappointment when the teacher, because of time limits,
asked the students to return to their seats.
As she sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn't have a
chance to throw any darts at her target, the teacher began removing the
drawings & the target from the wall.

There, underneath the target was a picture of Jesus. A complete hush
fell over the room as each student viewed the mangled picture of Jesus;
holes and jagged marks covered His face and His eyes were pierced.

The professor said only these words,
"As you have done to the least of these, my brethren, you have done to
Me."

No other words were necessary; the tear-filled eyes of each student
focused only on the picture of Jesus Christ.
