I have long been a fan of the mind of Leslie Weatherhead. There is
such clarity and lack of confusion in his writing.
I love the following analogy. It is his and I now relate it to you.
Imagine, if you will, that there is a nursery where two little boys are playing on the floor with some blocks.
Their father has suggested they build a tower and has told them how. But instead, they quarrel and try a different way from how they were told.
Things go from bad to worse and it seems the tower will never be built.
Now suddenly the father enters the nursery. He sees the problem, the suffering, the pain. What shall he do?
1. He can turn the little boys out of the nursery and build the tower himself. (God did this in the beginning when He created the earth).
2. He can referee the moment. Make the boys behave. Ride herd on their lesser instincts. Even beat them into submission if need be.
3. He can intervene to protect them from all accidents, allow no mishaps, allow them no misfortunes.
4. He can watch from afar as they slowly learn by trial and error.
