Man quotes Bible Portion

It was hot and sunny day in my hometown,where I personally live and hail from.am always a busy type and love settling issues,most especially that related to theft and that was part of me which I can’t denied.

Unlike government workers that goes to work from monday to Friday and rest on Saturdays, mine was different from that because I run a personal business that doesn’t sales every day, because of the rules abiding market in my hometown.

Therefore my business normally goes live 3days in a week,and I will select the days that favours me to avoid any confusion in my schedule.

It was Wednesday,many people open up their wares to sale on this day and some are left at home,shops that operates this days are mostly supermarket.

So my own business doesn’t work out on this day,so I take my time off to indulge in other activities at home,after I might have done everything at home,I decided to stroll towards the nearby supermarket to get some chilled drinks to cool out the heat from the sun.

When I was very closed to the supermarket,some of my neighbors ran to me from where i was heading to and were trying to make haste to the supermarket,I was wondering what is really going on,so as a man that loves settling issues I rush inside and I saw crowd of people shouting at a man that lay on the floor about to be beaten by angry mob.

I tried as much as possible to know what’s really going on,and I was told that the man tried to steal bread from the supermarket and eat without paying.looking at the man he wasn’t ashamed neither was he afraid,instead as the people were trying to figure out what to do to him,the man shouted back at the crowd and everyone went silent.

I moved in front so that I will hear what he has to say to defend himself,so the man ask a question that left me in thoughts,he asked “aren’t we all christians?why should we be acting as if we don’t read the Bible, because I took bread to eat and everyone accused me of stealing,why didn’t God curse David when he took the bread from the temple and eat?

He still continue saying,”that it’s because of hunger that led those in the Bible did what wasnt pleasing to men,but God forgave them knowing that it’s hunger,if any of you haven’t taken what is not yours before come out and lay your hands on me”.
