Is God Unjust?

By Leslie Littell

A Parable

THE following parable will serve to show that God would be unjust if He made one Sabbath for the Jews and another for the Gentiles.

A certain Jew, living before the cross, died and was buried. And a certain Gentile, who lived this side the cross, died also.

In the due course of time they met in the lake of fire; and as they saw the flames rolling up on every side, the Gentile said to the Jew, “How does it happen that you are here?”

The Jew, answering, said, “I did not keep the seventh-day Sabbath, which the Lord our God commanded us to keep.”

“Strange,” says the Gentile; “I am here because I did keep the seventh-day Sabbath, but did not keep the first day. What kind of god have we, anyway? He burns you up because you didn’t keep it, and, in the same lake of fire, burns me up because I did keep it.” LESLIE LITTELL.
