The Dream

Many many many years ago (that was a lot of many). In a place called Earthliness, was a fruit farmer. One night he dreamt of fruits harvest.

In his dream, the very first tree he visited had a fruit already bitten by an animal. He wanted to turn away and gather only the good and clean fruits but the aroma oozing out of the fruit was too inviting to ignore. So to himself he said, "I will eat this fruit right after gathering all the fruits on this half of the field. It is not badly bitten". He placed the bitten fruit in one of the baskets, and went on to harvest forty baskets of very good and clean many different types of fruits.

The other side of his fruits field was very much unlike the previous. Wild animals and insects invaded the fruits, eating and destroying them. He decided to gather the spoils of his field nevertheless. He gathered forty baskets of bitten and rotted fruits except for the very last tree which had an uneaten fruit. He was amazed at this, and said, "I will replace the bitten fruit from my first harvest with his good fruit." He placed it in a basket among the rotted fruits nevertheless.

When he returned to collect the fruits and take to his barn, he noticed that the forty baskets of good fruit had all become rotten, and the forty baskets of rotten fruits all turned good.

So he woke up.

"Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command,...

...For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!"  -Roman 5:14-15
