The
Preacher
An
old preacher was dying. He sent a message for an IRS agent and his
Lawyer, both church members, to come to his home. When they arrived, they were
ushered up to his bedroom. As they entered the room, the preacher held out his
hands and motioned for them to sit on each side of the bed. The
preacher grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled and stared at the
ceiling.
For a time, no one said anything. Both the IRS agent and Lawyer were
touched and flattered that the old preacher would ask them to be with him during
his final moment. They were also puzzled; the preacher had never
given them any indication that he was particularly fond of them.
They both remembered his many long, uncomfortable sermons about greed,
covetousness and their avaricious behavior that made them squirm in their seats. Finally,
the lawyer said, "Preacher, why did you ask the two of us to come?"
The old preacher mustered up some strength, then said weakly, "Jesus died
between two thieves, - and that's how I want to go, too."
