Two sons
On a national day, two brothers stood in an outdoor meeting listening to their father give a brief Christian talk. At the finish, the father said to everyone, "A transcript of this talk is freely available to anyone who would like it."
One of the brothers was a Christian and he was so moved by the talk he collected two copies, one for himself, and one for his brother.
"I don’t believe in this stuff," said the second brother. "I’m not a Christian, but this was a good talk and my father was genuine in what he said. I think everybody should have a copy."
He took it to the printer and had a number of copies made. He gave them to his friends and work-mates, and to everyone he met. In fact, he answered so many questions about it, it was not long before he could tell the whole message himself, without having to hand out a printed copy of it. And the father was inundated with callers wanting to learn more.
"Which of the two did what his father wanted?”
Confronting? Choose well!

They
each took the message home and read it again. The first brother put his
notes in his pocket. Being a Christian and loving his father deeply, he wanted to
keep the message close by where he could read it whenever he wanted.
