Emphasis Preaching Journal

There is an Indian tale about a band of thieves. As they lurked in the bushes near a house, the man of the house noticed them and quickly devised a plan. He said loudly to his wife, “Come, wife, and put all our valuables in this box. Thieves struck our neighbors’ house last night, and we must be careful. Help me take this box to the well — if thieves come, they will not find it there.” The thieves watched the man and his wife take the box to the well and pitch it in.
