What was Les to do? A Spiritual Question?
Once there was a rich and powerful nation that went into a deep economic depression. The name of the country was a long one so it was commonly known as the V.T.B. Things were much worse than the time that we know as the Great Depression of the 1930’s. The populous was crying for help, but it seemed that not only would there be no help; soon the nation itself might no longer exist. Anarchy was everywhere, and the threat of a civil war was very real. Now it happened that a man of extreme wealth came along and indicated that he might be willing to help. There were only two stipulations. Both seemed rather benign and the people were desperate so they agreed to his request. The first condition was that the day that was known as Independence Day was to be changed from July 5 to April 20. Anybody that celebrated the original Independence Day would be put into prison. The second was that everybody was to bake and eat gingerbread men on that day. However, these gingerbread men had to be special. First they had to have two triangles on them; one pointing up and the other pointing down. In addition, they had to have black and white stripes made of colored icing on them. The nation agreed to the terms and the wealthy man opened his coffers. Soon the nation was back to economic prosperity. At first the people were a bit concerned that they had done away with their original Independence Day. However, not only were they able to celebrate as they had done before, they also had a new tradition. Soon there were gingerbread men throughout the land. Churches and public buildings displayed huge gingerbread men everywhere. The Gingerbread Day shopping season was a great boon for retailers. The tradition of the gingerbread men soon spread to the whole world. It became the largest celebration on Earth. Hundreds of years later, there was a man named Les. Les loved the Lord and wanted to be a faithful disciple of God. He was an elder in his church, visited the poor and those in prison. He was also a devoted youth group leader. He even worked for a Christian building contractor. Beside his passion for God and the church, Les loved history. He also loved celebrating Gingerbread Day. One day he decided to research the beginnings of Gingerbread Day. As he researched he soon wished that he had not started. He found out that the wealthy man was really a Nazi who hated Jews and adored Hitler. It was no coincidence that the wealthy man had chosen April 20 for the celebration of the new Gingerbread Day. April 20 was Hitler’s birthday. The wealthy man had duped the nation into trading a date that represented freedom for a date that stood for utter evil. The two triangles represented the pulling apart of the two parts of the Star of David, and the black and white stripes represented the prison clothes that the Jews wore at Auschwitz. The baking of the gingerbread men represented how the Jews were thrown into the ovens of Auschwitz, and eating these gingerbread men represented an unknown covenant between the wealthy man and Satan to rid the world of all Jews. All his life Les had been eating gingerbread men. By doing so he had unknowingly been assenting to the horrors of the Holocaust. Les felt sickened and polluted. Gingerbread Day was not only an affront to the Jews, but also to God Himself. What was Les to do?
