Pursue what is meaningful not what is Expedient

in #life7 years ago

A pastor at an airport was standing beside a pregnant lady who was also carrying a cute baby. He was admiring the child as he made admiring remarks about her.
Suddenly the lady offered the child to him,

Please can you hold her for me, l need to go to the lady's urgently.

Of course the kind pastor immediately accepted the child while the lady hastily dived into the airport WC doors.
That was how the man was when some security personnel came up to him and demanded to know who the child was.

Oh, the mother asked me to hold on to him while she went to the lady's.

The lady's was checked. No pregnant woman. The child was checked, to find that her pampers was loaded with cocaine.


To cut the long story short. The nice, kindly but unwary pastor was charged with child smuggling, child abuse and smuggling of hard drugs.
One does not need to be a legal luminary to figure out what was to be the fate of this gullible man of God.


Expedience is the word that comes to mind here. Something that could be convenient or even acceptable in a given situation but yet morally wrong.
The Bible teaches us that certain things could be expedient yet not acceptable. Friends, we are in perilous times. Be watchful and prayerful at all times. God bless us and guide us all at all times in Jesus name.
