The Dying Pastor
An old pastor was dying. He sent a
message for an IRS agent and his lawyer to come to the hospital. When they
arrived, they were ushered up to his room. As they entered the room, the
pastor held out his hands and motioned for them to sit on each side of the bed.
The pastor grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled, and stared at the
ceiling. For a time, no one said anything. Both the IRS agent and
Lawyer were touched and flattered that the old pastor would ask them to be with
him during his final moments. They were also puzzled because the pastor had
never given any indication that he particularly liked either one of them.
Finally, the Lawyer asked, "Pastor, why did you ask the two of us to come here?"
The old pastor mustered up some strength, then said weakly, "Jesus died between
two thieves, and that's how I want to go, too."
