A bird story 1

I am writing this to all the Chinese Christian. There was told a legendary story about a small bird among the old forks, a kind of sparrow in mainland China. This kind of bird is found throughout the villages there. It cries with a long tune, "Ti..Ti...Ti...Ti..Ti....Ti 弟...弟...弟...弟...弟....弟...弟..弟...弟...弟"

The old man in those villages told us a story about this bird. Long time ago, there was a pair of brothers, they were very kind and close to each other, one day, the younger brother went missing, the elder brother went out to search for him, but he could not find his younger brother, he was very sad, the story was told that, this elder brother turned into a small sparrow, and it flies out into the wood and villages to seek his younger brother, that is why, it cries until today, "Ti  Ti   Ti........弟...弟...弟...弟...弟....弟...弟..弟...弟...弟!" What a sad and touching story about a man turned into a bird looking for his brother. Whenever the villages heard its cries, they will say, "See the brother is still looking for his brother until today."

My dears, BPC, are you like that small bird, crying for your missing brothers? Have we done enough like this small creature flying among the wood and villages, loving his brother in such away?

Or are we the cruel one who take up stones and arrows to shot that bird which is crying and looking for its missing one? Aren't you are called into the gospel work, to look for those who lost the way? The lost sheep?

Why there are such an cruel one among us, who care not those lost souls among us, but they rather put some of us into high court in saying they are serving God at the same time?

Am I like Job? Writing my view in pain, and we may lose very things else, but do not let dignity fail us as a Chinese Christian! No, do not do those quarreling any longer, do not let CUV readers divide among ourselves, due to a few Bible verses which are difficult to understand by some of us, we do not need to put some one into high court...are we cry for one another lately? Do we have that love in us? Are we care enough? Why some of you cast a stone first on others?

Have you heard any one crying for his brother, no yet, "弟..弟..." Why you hurt one another, it is not enough pains and turmoils in this world? That until our theologians cast stones on some of us, because of what? Verbal Plenary Preservation! 

I pray that bird will fry into your room, and may its cries awake you! Amen! I hope that day is not our judgment day! Righteous, peace and joy, where are they?
