THE LION THE BEAR AND THE UNICORN

The lion, the bear and the Unicorn Story: 

And this is how the story goes.....

In the final saga of this wonderful land, where the animals would talk to the humans; and a great lion leads them all to love, in faith and in courage.

In the last chapter of this great story, all of the lion's enemies have swept away his followers except for two, the bear and the Unicorn. They are trapped in a cave with the lion.

And because the entrance to this cave is narrow, the wave after wave of soldiers that the evil king sends in to try and kill them can't do it. The lion, the bear and the Unicorn, they fight them off.

So finally, the king sends in a messenger. He says, " look, the one that we really want, is the lion" "give him up and the rest of you will live, Ahh the Unicorn, we're going to cut his horn off, make him pull a cart for the rest of his life. The bear, we're going to put in chains and shackles, make him dance in the circus, but both of you will live, all you have to do is give up that lion".

Finally,  the lion looks at his friends with that look in his eyes, "what are you going to do??" And the bear and the Unicorn;they just smile.

And they say, " of all the deaths that we could have died, this right here is the one we would have chosen".

But the bear, and the lion and the Unicorn, they weren't looking for an easy road.

Neither did Jesus, when he accepted the cross, He didn't choose an easy death. 
Now it's time for us, to make a choice too!!!
And I’ll never give up that lion ...
