Fly My Shining Dragon Knight

Once upon a time, there was a pastor who brought an empty bird cage to the sermon.
After receiving puzzled looks, he explained.
A day earlier he was walking down town when he saw this boy with 3 little birds running down the street.
The pastor stopped the boy and asked hey what are you going to do with them?
The boy told him that, he wanted to taunt them, tease them, pluck out their feathers, beat them and amuse himself.
The pastor then asked the boy, what did he intend to do with them afterwards.
The boy said that he might have a few cats that would love to feed on the helpless birds.
The pastor was horrified and asked the boy how much were the birds.
The boy look at the pastor as thought he was mad and asked for $10.
As soon as the money was in his hands, the boy was gone.

Satan met Jesus one day.
Satan was carrying many souls of man in a cage.
Jesus asked Satan what are you to do with them?
Satan said with glee, I'm going to teach them to marry for the wrong reasons, get divorced, commit adultery, hate each other, murder others and destroy their own kind!
And after that what will you do with them?
Satan shouted with the most contempt, "Kill Them!"
Jesus was horrified and asked Satan, how much for their lives?
Satan sneered at Jesus, are you sure you want them, they will still hate you and hurt you.
Jesus continued and asked Satan to quote his price.
Satan then laughed and said "Your life!"

"Jesus paid his life, to save our souls" said the pastor.
In the same way, I saved these bird's lives and let them go under a nearby tree.
Thus you see, the empty cage.
Where Jesus has freed you.
