Dying wish

[mikha]

한국사람은 읽지 마시오.

A pastor was dying. He sent a message for a NTS agent and his lawyer, both church members, to come to his home.

When they arrived they were ushered up to his bedroom. 

As they entered the room, the pastor held out his hands and motioned for them to sit on each side of the bed.

The pastor grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled and stared at the ceiling.

For a time, no one said anything. Both the NTS agent and Lawyer were touched and flattered that the pastor would ask them to be with him during his final moment.

But they were also puzzled; the pastor had never given them any indication that he particularly liked either of them.

They both remembered his many long, uncomfortable sermons about greed, covetousness and their veracious behavior that made them squirm in their seats.

Finally, the lawyer said,

"Pastor, why did you ask the two of us to come?"

The pastor mustered up some strength, then said weakly,

"Jesus died between two thieves, and that's how I want to go, too."

글을 읽으려 했으나 한국사람은 읽지 말라고 해서 글 쓰신 분의 의견을 존중하는 의미로 읽지 않았습니다.
물론 읽으려 해도 저 같은 사람은 당최 무슨 뜻이지 해석할 수도 없구요.
이곳에서도 가방 끈 짧은 콤플렉스를 느끼네...

나역시 한국사람이므로 읽지 않고 보기만 했는데 Nothing To Say, 말할 필요도 없이 NTS, Lawyer는 예수님 십자가 처형될 때 곁에 있던 2명의 강도들을 비유한 것 같은데, 누가 우편에 있는자 이고, 누가 좌편에 있는 자 ? 인지 난해 하네요. 이럴줄 알았으면 중고교 시절 영어좀 열공할 걸..

어제가 제헌절인데 오늘 여기서 규칙을 어기네요. 하긴 법이 아니라 읽지 말라는걸 읽었을 뿐이니

이건 재미납니다. 겨우 읽었지만요 ㅎㅎ

I didn't read it, for you are asking Koreans not to read it. Unfortunately, though, you must have realized that I'm lying. Yes, I'm lying. Actually, I read it. How can I resist the temptation to read it! You provoked my curiosity.
Anyway, the story is funny and, at the same time, sad.

오모씨는 death bed 에 많이 불려 다닐 듯. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

오목사님 돌아오시면 영어예배 참석하실 분들 연습시켜 주시는 것으로 알고 감사드립니다... 거의 처음 본 "오늘의 유머"가 영어라서 조금 생소하게 느껴지네요...

[병아리]

"Jesus died between two thieves, and that's how I want to go"

혼자는 못죽겠고 같이 죽자.. 이 말이네요 ㅋㅋㅋ

[mikha]

죽는 순간 만이라도 예수님처럼 죽고 싶다. 십자가 양 옆에 강도들이 하나씩 달려 있던 것처럼.
평소 개판치며 살았어도 마지막 순간에 혹시 구원받을까 해서... 뭐 이런 얘기 아닐까요?

영어로 된 글 보니까 주일 예배 때 영어로 찬양하자고 말씀하시던 어떤 분이 생각나네요..
