Parable of the Two Eggs

Based on 1 Chronicles 20;14-30: Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God’s.  Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

Given an illusion to take you down a “bunny trail” to find the truth of the three eggs, requires you to decide for yourself, to eliminate possible answers then to deduce which egg is for you.

1.) The parents of the egg, are not significant.

2.) The paint on the outside of the egg, is not significant.

3.) Just two eggs. One is boiled the other not.

4.) Which one will hatch?

5.) Neither, The answer is neither egg with hatch.

6.) Ever farmer knows an egg must be fertilized, or it cannot hatch.

7.) Even in hatching an egg, one can only watch. One cannot pry open a

Eggs as we know them today, are not fertilized by a Rooster, or male chicken. Without the Holy Spirit we can be a “Good Egg,” but lacking the joy of being freed from “our shell.” Getting out of “ourselves” sends us into the world, like a young chick, to explore and mingle with others, and perhaps be open enough to see, we want to be more like Jesus.

egg shell, it is in the struggle, the chick works to get out the shell, and begins to toughen itself, to meet its new world.

8,) Much like one who finds the Holy Spirit, by pecking at its own shell, breaking through some odd crust, to welcome in a New World.

9.) And when that kind of joy, and laughter wiggles out of human heart, there is a song, a way to think, to pray, to find something new, a mystery to solve, everyday. What will God think of next?

10.) On Passover there is boiled egg on the table. But its purpose was for the Jews to question. Why would a boiled egg, never pop open with new chick? Jesus came out of the Tomb, alive. But now the story of the egg at Easter time, is about that chick, that comes out alive, to chirp, because its blessed with the Holy Spirit!  Like Jesus came to bring us His Comfort and new life, in Christ.

“And the children stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high. Believe in the LORD your God,  believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. He appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness! They went out before the army to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.  And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD they [the enemy] were smitten.  And, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.  They found  the dead bodies, and precious jewels, they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.   And on the fourth day they assembled themselves there they blessed the LORD: to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.  They came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD. And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.
So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.  2 Chronicles 20:30

Birds, Chickens, Baby Animals, all make a certain noise. Humans moan, groan, and frequently give off signs of beings “disgruntled.”

However as one who comes to see my need to weed out that pesky thing that irritates me, that is what keeps me growing, closer to Jesus, and it takes a Holy Spirit.
