Cristian Analogy
... this is an analogy that I received from Keith Foster during a flint
exchange through my web site. I really enjoyed it and wanted to
share it with others. Keith proposed using the analogy during his
flintknapping demonstrations. A wonderful idea indeed ...
Christ is like a fine stone that we were spalled from. God struck
him harshly on our behalf to create the spall from which we were
knapped. God is a master knapper, and though we receive small
strikes and pressures in life, these are only meant to form us into
the tool of God's choosing. Because God is a master knapper,
he never strikes us so hard as to break us. We can praise our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ that He alone took the very harshest strike
upon himself, broken on our behalf. When God is through knapp-
ing us, we will be used with care, re-sharpened a few times perhaps
and eventually take our place with Christ from which we were
formed ... for eternity.
Thanks again Keith for sharing this with us. I believe it is a
great testimonial tool to use during your demonstations.
