The Apple Cart Story


As they hurried to the airport to catch their return flight, they rushed down the airport’s corridor with their briefcases in hand. In their rush, one of these salesmen inadvertently kicked over a cart which held a display of apples.

Apples flew everywhere. Without stopping or looking back, they all continued running so they would make their plane. All but one.


He told his buddies to go on without him, waved goodbye, told one of them to call his wife when they arrived home and explain why he was taking a later flight. Then he returned to the cart where the apples were all over the terminal floor.

He was glad he did.


The salesman knelt on the floor with her, gathered up the apples, put them back on the cart and helped organize her display.



She nodded through her tears.



He paused and turned to look back into her blind eyes.

She continued, “Are you Jesus?”

“Are you Jesus?”

Would anyone ask you this question, based on your behavior?

Do others see the resemblance of Jesus in you?

Do you see a resemblance of Jesus in yourself?

Tough question. God uses people to be His hands and feet here on earth, in the hopelessness of their world, they need to see a Jesus with skin on. Could it be you?
