*“Ed & Petunia” [A Parable]*
You are: deputy ~/ jailer ~/ in charge of prisoners ~/ keeper of keys
EX: Barney Fife
You have 1 prisoner: Ed ~/ big guy ~/ Hell’s Angel ~/ bad reputation ~/ heard all about him
There he sits: lethargic ~/ causing you no trouble at all ~/ model prisoner
He just sits – day after day
In time you: forget about Ed’s nasty reputation
Just 2 of you at old jail so: you & Ed – talk about things [sports ~/ weather ~/ cars ~/ motorcycles]
Every now & then you: give your buddy Ed – glass of lemonade [only supposed to have H2O]
Sometimes you even: slip into cell for game of cards [to pass time]
As: days turn into weeks ~/ weeks into months…..
You wonder: why is Ed locked up at all?
Ed: never gives you trouble ~/ seems perfectly harmless
Then 1 day [in middle of card game]: you smell s-thing
Ed: smells it too It’s perfume
You: go back to t~/ game but -- Ed is distracted
You see: look in Ed’s eye [never seen before]
You decide: time to slip out of cell -- check things out
You step out front - in time to see: someone coming toward door
A woman: Petunia
Yes, you’ve: heard about Petunia
Sheriff told you: watch out for her ~/ at all costs – keep her away from Ed
Well – there she is - now what?
Should you: run her off?
She seems: harmless enough ~/ unarmed ~/ not even cake w~/ file
As Petunia approaches you hear: noises back inside jail
T~/ native is: restless
What does she want?
She wants to: visit Ed
You tell her: she can’t but…..
She’s: sweet talker
From behind you Ed is: calling out to Petunia
Now she’s calling back to him: “I’ll be right there, honey.
I just need to talk to this fine handsome, young jailer.”
“Petunia, you can’t go in there.”
“Now what’s t~/ harm in: me seeing Ed?”
“Well…”
Ed shouts: “Come on ~/ you can let her in ~/ sheriff – never know”
Petunia says: “T~/t’s right ~/ besides – sheriff is kinda sweet on me ~/ t~/t’s why – doesn’t want me to see Ed.”
W~/ new info you decide: 1 little visit – won’t hurt
But….as
soon as Ed & Petunia get in close proximity…..
Ed becomes: Hell’s Angel [you heard about]
And what’s this?.....He took keys from you [while playing cards]
Now he’s: unlocking cell
Ed & Petunia embrace &: begin to leave
You try to: intervene but….
Ed surprises you w~/: fierce elbow to nose ~/ blood splatters ~/ you collapse
Last thing you see: Ed & Petunia walking out [arm in arm]…….
Taking w~/ them your: job ~/ reputation ~/ e-thing you [worked so hard for] over yrs
*And now….t~/
story explained*
Ed stands for: “evil desire”
Evil desire is found: w~/in every human being
Petunia is short for: “opportunity”
We are jailer responsible for: keeping those 2 from getting together
What we must do is: keep Ed away from Petunia
Which means we must keep: evil desire away from opportunity
Evil desire w~/in tends to: sit there quietly ~/ not cause much trouble
Until: opportunity comes along
But when: right opportunity shows up -- LOOK OUT!
It will: drive evil desire w~/in us – crazy
Just like: Ed when Petunia came along
You probably know: what your weaknesses are ~/ which evil desires are likely to – cause you trouble
What you must do is: stay far away from – opportunities to carry out desires
EX: diet - no DQ ~/ bakery
If you do things on computer t~/t are sinful: get rid of computer
Watch things on TV: get rid of channels
You can’t allow: evil desire & opportunity to be together
When you do: evil desire – always get best of you
Ed in presence of Petunia: becomes uncontrollable
READ JAMES 1: 14 – 15
/14 “but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.”
\\ \\ /
/15 “Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.”//
[NIV]/
Story of Ed & Petunia: fresh way to look at temptation
Remember in story [you were jailer]
You let Ed & Petunia get close: you ended up -- bloody mess
T~/t’s what happens when we allow our: evil desire to come close to opportunities
Our evil desire will: get t~/ best of us
Our life will end up: bloody mess
And if we don’t: stop it…..
Our evil desire will cost us: job ~/ reputation ~/ friends ~/ family ~/ e-thing we have worked so hard for
*Challenge*
Take look at your life: identify t~/ Ed’s ~/ recognize Petunia’s
Then make it a point to: do whatever you have to do……
To keep: Ed far, far away from Petunia.
