"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him,
then he will sit on the throne of his glory.
The burglar quietly left the room, walked down the hallway, entered another room. The
dog followed his every movement in the hall and the next room. The parrot squawked,
"You're gonna get caught!" From room to room the dog paced right behind the burglar
while the parrot annoyingly shouted, "You're gonna get caught!" You're gonna get
caught!" At last the burglar finished stealing the jewelry and cash he found in the
master bedroom closet. Every move by every muscle was scrutinized by the Doberman.
The parrot said, "You're gonna get caught!"
Exasperated, the burglar finally bent down and picked up a shoe. He threw it at the bird
and screamed, "You dumb parrot! Can't you say anything else?" The parrot fluttered
away to avoid the shoe, then said, "Sic em."
That burglar's day of judgement was at hand.
There is another day of judgement, "when the Son of Man comes in his glory." Shall
we say, "Come Lord Jesus Come!"
(Matthew 25:31
NRSV)
Only moments after prying open a window and stepping into a dark bedroom a burglar
came face to face with a vicious looking Doberman Pincher. The burglar froze in his
tracks. Once his eyes adjusted to the dark he noticed a parrot on the back of the dog
which squawked "You're gonna get caught!" The burglar hesitated, then ever so
carefully lifted an item off a dresser and put it in his sack. The dog watched every
move. The parrot said, "You're gonna get caught!" Without any sudden or jerky
movements the burglar then cleaned off the valuable items from the top of the dresser.
The dog glared. The parrot said, "You're gonna get caught!"
O God, bring me close to your glory. Amen.
