THE MERCIFUL FATHER
It was Saturday morning; the sun shone brilliantly making
the day bright and fair. Lazarus did not go to work, he decided to clean up his
house, it really was in need of cleansing.
As he worked, he felt a slight ache in his head but he
ignored it thinking it will soon disappear on its own accord. Soon the pain
became unbearable so he decided to visit the hospital for a checkup. Quickly he
dressed up and went outside.

He tried to stop a taxi, he could not see properly and his
legs grew weak. He saw people shouting and running towards him. Some of the
women among them were already sobbing. He looked at them in amazement, what
were they crying for? He did not know.
He tried talking with some of the people there but to his
greatest surprise nobody could feel his touch neither did they hear him speak.
He sat watching them for some time and then got up to proceed to the hospital.

He walked across the road effortlessly. He found out also he
could walk through fences and buildings and as he did so he saw many people
engaged in their normal activities at home but none of them could either see
him or respond to his greetings. A short while later he came across a small
river, he was surprised because no river was in this very city where he lived.
As soon as he crossed the river, he entered a rough road. It
had an undulating topography with many twists and turns. There were no houses
on either side of this broad street neither was there anything straight nor
narrow about it.

As he walked up this road, two men joined him. They were very
huge, dark in completion and putting on a black gown. Each of them held him on
his left and right side and led him away at a very great speed as if they were
his captors and he their captive. None of them spoke to him.
A lady was coming from the opposite side of the road. She
was putting on a gown made from very colorful materials, her head gear and
shoes matched perfectly with her apparel. She was smiling as she walked towards
them.
“And where do you think you are going?’’ she spoke to
Lazarus, continuing she said, “This is not the way, go back to where you are
coming from.”
Addressing herself to the captors she said with authority,
“Lose him and let him go.”
