The compassionate man
There was once a very bad man who owned many slaves, and who had a lot of wealth because of the work of his slaves. This bad man was also very strong, and all of his slaves were afraid of him, and rightly so. One day, however, another strong man, who was very compassionate, overpowered the slave owner and tied him up, and started to free all of his slaves. As he freed the slaves, he plundered the bad man's house, and gave the wealth to the freed slaves. But some of the slaves had been promoted to rule over and torture their fellow slaves, and they did not want to be set free. Others were afraid of change. But the ones who embraced freedom were very grateful to the compassionate man, and helped him free the other slaves. Some of the chief slaves tried to stop them, but the compassionate man was too strong for them. He and all the people he had rescued lived freely ever after.

I found your site by searching the topic, "Did God create evil?" When I followed through your site, I came upon the article titled, "The Compassionate Man." You're a very talented story teller. It wasn't until I was halfway through the story that I realized the comparison between Satan and Christ. Thank you so much. This would be a wonderful analogy to read and explain to any small child (my 95-year-old mother also loved it), and I will be reading it to my grandson. Thank you again, and God bless you.
Dear Mary Ellen,
It warmed my heart to read your comment. Not only do I love to read that I have been a vessel of blessing, but I also love writing stories, and it is encouraging to know that someone thinks I'm good at it. Thank you for your comment. God bless you.
