The stain, the virus, the hoodie

posted by John Davies at 11:00 PM

The kingdom of God is like a stain on a white sheet, which spread and spread until no one knew where the whiteness ended and the dirtiness began.
The kingdom of God is like a virus that infected a computer, which rewrote every code until it brought the whole system crashing down.
The kingdom of God is like a boy wearing a hood, who went into a shopping mall and set off all the alarms.

Steve
