The Commander of the Occupation troops said to the Mayor of the mountain village: “We know you are hiding a traitor. Unless you hand him over to us, we will harass your people by every means in our power.”
The village was, indeed, hiding a man who was evidently innocent. But what could the Mayor do now that the welfare of the village was at stake?
Days of discussions in the Village Council led to no conclusion. So the Mayor took the matter up with the priest.
Priest and Mayor spent a whole night searching the Scriptures and finally came up with a text that said, “It is better that one man die to save the nation.” So the Mayor handed over the fugitive whose screams echoed through the village as he was tortured till he died.
Twenty years later a prophet came to that village, went right up to that Mayor and said “How could you have done this? That man was sent by God to be the saviour of this village. And you handed him over to be tortured and killed.”
“But where did I go wrong?” the Mayor pleaded.“The priest and I looked at the Scriptures and did what they commanded.”
“That’s where you went wrong,” said the prophet. “You looked thru' the Scriptures. You should have looked into his eyes.”

God decided to visit the earth so He sent an angel to survey the place before his visit. The angel's report read: “Most of them are starving and unemployed.”
God said, “Then I shall become incarnate in the form of food for the hungry and work for the unemployed.”
