When a person was still a child, his grandmother always told him: “Granddaughter, when you grow up big, you feel bad in your soul - go to church, it will always be easier for you there.”
A man has grown up. And life somehow became completely unbearable for him. He remembered his grandmother’s advice and went to the temple. And then someone comes up to him: “You’re holding your hands wrong!” The second one runs up: “You’re not standing there!” The third one grumbles: “He’s not dressed like that!” They shout from behind: “You’re baptizing yourself incorrectly!” And then one woman came up and said to him:
“You should leave the temple, buy yourself a book about how to behave here, and then come in.”
A man came out of the temple, sat down on a bench and cried bitterly. And suddenly he hears a voice:
- Why are you crying, my child?
The man raised his tear-stained face and saw Christ. Says:
- Lord! They won't let me into the temple!
Jesus hugged him:
“Don’t cry, they haven’t let me in there for a long time.”
