Christian Flash Fiction - "One Wept" - A Modern Parable

One Wept
(Prompt - Jn 11:35)

It was a message to change the world, preached by a man of God who had lost his way. His words were tainted. Darkness disguised as light.

“Humanity finds in itself the capacity to take care of the needy. We are a fountain of rescue for all.

“We don’t need God for this! It is found in each of us. If comes from each of us. And when we die, we pass that torch to those chosen to lead.”

Sadly, there was no love, justice, or dignity in these words; only pride.

Three stood hidden by this darkness. Remembering these same words had been spoken by others in darkest of times; one wept.


Yet, the True Light was still in the world and could not be extinguished. The shadows became clouds. The Light stood strong and pulled the tears upward.  The clouds wept rain upon a starving world.
