On the last stairs to the sky, there are two pathways. One floods with welcoming and light, and the other is dark, scorching, and evil. Which pathway awaits you? On each end of the pathway, a man waits. One is adorned with flowing white robes with a golden crown atop his head. The other's skin is dark and charred, and he is almost nude, with a simple burned loincloth clothing him. He holds a large pointed staff, and an evil smile. He beckons to you, and the man in the long flowing robes beckons as well. But what path is the one you shall take? A man walks up the stairs to the skies behind you. He has dark skin, and dark hair. His eyes are brown, and he wears rags. You don't want to take that charred path, so you push him torwards it, and head torwards the golden gates. A man awaits there. "What is your name?" He asks. You tell him. "Do you know who that was?" He asks. You reply, "A poor old man." The robed man laughs. "You see, poor old men aren't always who they seem to be. If I dressed you in rags, would you head torwards the gates of hell?" He asks. You shake your head no. "Who was he?" You ask. The man chuckles. "He's here for a reson. He seeks his father." The robed man says. You look back torwards the man. He is now wearing golden sandles and a golden flowing robe. He wears a gold crown of thorns atop his head, and is walking torwards the golden gate. The robed man in front of the gate smiles welcoming to him. "Welcome, son of the lord." He says. Now you find yourself walking down that charred path, torwards that black gate.
I have a question for you guys here on VT--what do you think is the moral of that story I just wrote? :D
Also, I just wanted to add a fact. You may see pictures of Jesus with fair skin, long brown hair and a beard, but these images were actually made by people who looked like that, so he was depicted the way that they looked. Actually, studies show that Jesus was middle-eastern, so, like in my story, he would've had dark skin and hair. He would have looked more like an Arab.
