No, I am not comparing believers in Christ to pigs but I needed a title and a story of a story whereby some of the lines lined up with this message. The three little pigs is that story. This message also connects to the prodigal son story in the bible at one of his not so favorite places to dine (Luke 15:11-32).
So right around 2:30ish in the morning I was having a dream or, while I was slowly waking up, I thought about a story of three guys who used to be in close relationship but due to testing circumstances they have parted ways and taken their own paths. I will refer to the three guys as piggy number one, piggy number two and piggy number three. In the dream I saw a couple of friends, piggy’s number 1 and 2 and I piggy number 3 were sitting at a table attending an event. This maybe was an extended portion of another dreamed event in which a friend of ours was getting married which may have drawn us together for the second event. I don't feel as if it was the after wedding dinner celebration but it felt more like something else. Who knows as sometimes dreams can seem a bit fractionalized as mine often do.
So first I will share the discussion at the table and then tell you why what was said was said. Why do this as a message at all Podcast Preacher it is your dream…ha? Because I don't want you to focus entirely on what happened to the three relationships as much as I want to help you to see which of the three types of piggy’s you are.
This will require some introspection and honesty on your part and remember truth is most often difficult to hear for humans as our flesh seems so drawn to the false and deceptive. And for whatever reason we can get very hypersensitive as to whether God could truly deliver and restore someone who had their collapsing story on the front pages of ever gossip column in the state. No piggy didn’t receive persecution from the church because it no longer existed. But stigma’s are usually most applied and done so by individuals who lack the most truth as to how we got in the situation we found ourselves in. Taking the labeling circuit is much easier than just asking. Remember we are humans and susceptible to great sins and errors when the circumstances aliening with our weaknesses and/or spiritual immaturity. I am being nice because I am not condemning those who don’t know because as Jesus stated they don’t know what they are doing, and I would say that this applies to believers at times (Luke 23:34).
