A Glass of Wine

                                                                    ( A True Story)

 

A pastor was telling me that he and his wife were dinning out with her best friend and her atheist husband who was also a cynic and always making fun of Christianity.

 

The waiter came to their table and asked for our drink order. Three of ask for ice tea and the skeptic orders a class of the house wine.

 

After the waiter leaves, the naysayer says, “Reverend too bad Jesus isn’t here, he could turn my cheap glass of wine into the best wine,.”

 

The pastor thought to himself, I’m not going there. He ignores the comment. His wife picks up on the moment and immediately changes the subject. The ladies are engaged in a conversation while the pastor sits uncomfortably in silence while the naysayer smirks.

 

The waiter returns with the beverages and places three ice teas on the table and then turning to the man says, “ I’m sorry sir but we are out of our house wine. My manager apologizes and said to give you a glass of our very best wine with his compliments.”

 

“Answer a fool as his folly deserves, that he isn’t wise in his own eyes.” Proverbs 26:5
