Illustration- Two Brothers

You may have heard about the two brothers who were wicked, ungodly, lewd men. The were perverts, adulterers, drunkards, thieves, brawlers, blasphemous- you name it

One of the brothers died, and the other brother came to a preacher sand said, “I will give you a thousand dollars if you will preach my brother’s funeral and call him a saint.”

The preacher said, “You’ve got a deal.”

At the funeral, with the other brother sitting up front, the preacher stood up and pointed to the deceased. “The man in this casket was a liar, a thief, a drunkard, a pervert, an adulterer, and a blasphemer.

But compared to his brother here, he was a saint.”
