Dear readers,
In the Middle ages the master of an estate in England lay dying. He called to him a servant whom he knew to be a devout Christian and he said: “ Jim, I am dying. I am not sure that I am going to Heaven. Can you tell me what I must do?”
The wise old servant knew the pride of his master, and he said: “Sir, if you want to be saved, you will have to go to the pigpen, get on your knees in the mud, and say, God be merciful to me a sinner”
The master said: “I could not possibly to do that. What would the neighbors and servants think?”
A week passed and he called his servant back and said: “ Jim what did you say I had to do to be saved?” The old servant replied: “Sir you will have to go to the pigpen” The master said: “I have been thinking it over, Jim, and I am ready to go”
The servant then said: “Master, you don´t really have to go to the pigpen. You just have to be willing”
