how much is your faith worth?

Another story from Adrian Plass's book (this guy surely becomes one of my favourite author) pose this simple yet deep question.

In the story Adrian was approached by a guy, who asked him to stop his ministry publicly and he's offered 5.5 million pounds. Yes, million. Yes, pounds.

To put another twist, he can still do ministry in his own church. And on top of that, he's 57 years old at that time.

The guy (name's Paris Morpeth) suggested that he take the money and use it for good, like for charity, or supporting his family.

And Paris suggested that even if he take the money, God will still forgive him.

Now, if you think he's a hardcore Christian, that might not be the case as he tells about his struggle, his moments of doubt during his Christian life, and the fact that he has thought that Jesus may or may not exist.

In the end he refused.

And he gave such an outstanding point of view:

"ultimately, all I want is to meet the Son of God in heaven at last - assuming there is such a polace, of course - and see him smile, and hear him say, 'You messed things up here and there, Adrian, but you did have a go at the job I gave you to do, and I appreciate it. Thank you. Come on in.'

Thank you Adrian, for giving me such an insight which answers some of my faith question.

I hope that one day, if i'm offered millions of pounds or gold or silver in exchange of my faith, i'll be able to arrive on the same conclusion as his.
