Parable of Light, baby Barber and Twins (Part 3)

In Ancient China, there lived a pair of twin brothers. Their looks were exactly identical. The elder brother's name was Choo and he was a scholar preparing to take the imperial exam. His younger brother's name was Huo and he served in the military as a junior general. Huo's character was fiery, impulsive and reckless. He was especially fond of drinking and always got into fights and accidents. Choo on the contrary was patient, civilized and meticulous.

On one fateful night, Cho was at home studying while Huo was out drinking after a day of military training. A brawl erupted somehow, and in a fit of drunkard-ness, Huo killed his drinking mate. When Huo regained consciousness, he realized what he did; panicked and fled the scene quickly. Many drinkers witnessed the incident. Huo ran home as fast as he could. Patting hard on the door, he screamed for his elder brother to open the door.

Choo was shocked at what he saw. Huo confessed that he killed somebody and begged Choo to think of something to save him. Without a flich of an eye, Choo calmly told Huo to remove his blood stained uniform. Then Choo: " Go change into a pair of new clothes, take some money and flee!!!.. never to return again." Huo did what he was told and disappeared through the backdoor. By this time, there was a horde of crowd slamming on the door demanding that the murderer step out. Without hestitation, Choo wore that uniform stained in blood; and surrended to the crowd.

Cho was sentenced to death. And Huo went on hiding for years. After 10 years later, Huo bumped into some mutual friends. His friends later informed him that his "younger brother" was sentenced to death for a murder case. Huo was petrified. His legs felt weak, and he realized Choo had volunteered as scapegoat for his crime. Huo rushed back to the county and seeked an audience with the magistrate.

Huo : "Your honor, you killed the wrong man. I am the real murderer. My elder brother took the rap for me!!!!!"

Magistrate:"I'm sorry Son, I am a very impartial Judge. I cannot punish you for a crime which already has been paid for. Go on, live out the remaining of your life meaningfully and well. I am sure that is what your elder brother had wished for...."

Abba is such a righteous and imparital god. All the punishments have been paid in one sacrifice, one offering.. his beloved son Jesus Christ. Such that now Abba can only love you and adore you.. because the wrath and punishment of your sins have been paid....... Go on, live out your life meaningfully, gracefully, abundantly and well. That is what Jesus Christ wishes for you"
