 | A Lesson from a Silver Cup
A servant who had received a silver cup from his master
accidentally
dropped it into a vat of acid. The servant was dumbfounded when he saw
the
whole cup disappear. He immediately went to a fellow servant and told
him
that the silver cup was lost forever. "It can't be recovered. You
can't
even see it." The master, an educated man, came on the scene. He
infused
salt water into the acid, which precipitated the silver from the
solution.
Then by melting it and hammering the metal he restored the cup to its
original shape. A skeptic who saw this was so struck by its analogy to
the
resurrection, which he had rejected as impossible, that he now believed
it
most credible.

God Bless.
