Parable from South African Friend

A Priest dies and is awaiting his turn in line at the Heaven's Gates. Ahead of him is a dude fashionably dressed, in dark sun glasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket & jeans.

God asks him: Please tell me who you are, so that I may know whether to admit you into the kingdom of Heaven or not.

The Guy replies: I am Malayalee , Kerala State Road Transport Co (KSRTC) a bus driver from Kerala!!!

God consults his ledger…...........smiles and says to the Mallu:
"Please take this silken robe and gold scarf and enter the Kingdom of Heaven..."

Now it is the Priest's turn. He stands erect and speaks out in a booming voice:
"I am Bishop and and have been a Priest of the largest parish in Durban for the last 40 years.

God consults his ledger & says to the Priest: "Please take this Cotton Robe and enter the Kingdom of Heaven.."

'Just a minute' says the amazed Priest.

'How is it that a foul mouthed, common Driver is given a silken robe "and" golden scarf
and me, a Priest, who's spent his whole life preaching your Name and Goodness has to make do with a just a simple cotton robe?

"Ahh" shrugs the Lord..... 'Results my friend....., Results'.. chuckle, chuckle...

'While you preached, people "slept"; but when he drove, people "prayed"



CONCLUSION:AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT’S PERFORMANCE AND NOT POSITION THAT ULTIMATELY COUNTS……
