Jesus and the Kingdom of God

I heard about a chicken who boldly walked into the farmhouse one

day, walked up to the farmer who lived there and said, "Book!" The

farmer said, "You want a book?" The chicken responds, "Book!" The

farmer gives her a book. The next day the chicken is back, goes up to

the farmer and says, "Book! Book!" The farmer says, "You want two

books?" "Book! Book!" The farmer gives the chicken two books. The next

day the chicken is back. Goes up to the farmer and says, "Book! Book!

BOOK!" "The farmer says, "You want three books - two small ones and a

big one?" The chicken responds, "Book! Book! BOOK!" So the farmer gives

the chicken three books and the chicken puts them under her wings and

heads off.
