In the Middle Ages, as the lord of a manor lay critically ill, he asked a servant, “What do I have to do to go to Heaven?”
The servant replied, “Go to the pigsty, get on your knees in the mire and muck and pray, ‘God be merciful to me a sinner!”
The lord said, “I couldn’t possibly do that.”
The servant went away.
When the lord’s sickness became worse, he sent for the servant again and asked, “What did you say that I would have to do to go to Heaven?”
The servant said, “Sire, you will have to go to the pigsty, get on , your knees and pray, ‘God be merciful to me a sinner!”‘
“Well,” said the lord, “if that is what I have to do, I am ready to do it!”
The old servant smiled and said, “Sire, you don’t really have to go, but you have to be willing to go!”
Psalm 10:4 says, “The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thought.”
Jesus says, “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28).
