God

The parable of the Baker and the bread.

There was a free man standing in the street shouting take this plate and take to the Baker and he will give you bread to eat.

Two man heard the free man saying take this plate to the Baker and he will give you bread, so each man took a plate each plate was in a Zip lock bag.

The two man went into the Baker’s house and out came the Baker’s son and gave each man a spoon in a zip lock bag.

Then out came the Baker and gave each men a slice of bread in a zip lock bag.

The first man lays his plate and spoon on the table and opens the zip lock bag and takes out his slice of bread and begins to eat it like a wild men.

As he eats the slice of bread crumbs fall to the floor and at last the slice is gone. He turns to the Baker and ask for another slice but the Baker tells him every one gets the same measure slice and no more.

Now the second man seats at the table taking his plate out of zip lock bag and places it on the table. Then he takes his spoon out of the zip lock bag and sets it beside the plate.

He then opens the zip lock bag that has his slice of bread moving it with care unto his plate. Now he takes his spoon with great care and eats and small part of the slice of bread without the lost of the smallest crumb but only eating only what he needs for today.

He puts everything back into the right zip lock bag saving it until he needs it again. Do you understand the parable?

Beloved Tom

Ok

The free man = believer holding forth God’s word

the shouting take this plate = hearing the word of God

bread to eat = the bread of life

Two man = man of the world who may hear

Baker = God

in Zip lock bag = the care and love put into giving

Baker’s house = the house of God (place to find God)

Baker’s son = the son of God

the spoon = eat as a child or come as a child

slice of bread = the word of God

first man = the foolish believer

crumbs fall to the floor = that part the thief stole away from the men

eat it like a wild men = like a men of the flesh putting aside the way it was set up to be ate

lays his plate and spoon on the table = putting aside the tools of understanding

table = the place to come and be feed

same measure slice = faith

second man = the wise man

places it on the table and sets it beside the plate = using each tool the way they were meant to be used

moving it with care = with great love

eats and small part of the slice of bread = taking no more than he can understand at this time

without the lost of the smallest crumb = holding put with great value

eating only what he needs for today = talking it in has he can understand it

everything back into the right zip lock bag saving it until he needs it again = until he needs more because he has came to a full understand of what was ate

hope this helps because this is the way I understood it as it went in and out of my mind

O.K. Instead of the Zip lock bags, what if they had plain baggies with those plastic twisties, instead?

Same meaning or.....a different meaning?

Beloved year 2525

I do not know but I used zip lock because I heard they were the best made but maybe it would not matter as long as love and care was used
