The Seven Sticks

The Seven Sticks

Most of Aesop’s fables ring as true today as they did when he wrote them—600 years before Christ.

How can these short stories speak to us more than 2,000 years after he wrote them?

It is because though times change, the essence of what makes us “human” does not. We have the same fears, desires, and hopes as those who lived throughout the centuries.

We simply are not all that unique.

And, that is why the Bible continues to instruct us today. People are people. And, we are pretty predictable.

A good example of Aesop’s fables being relevant today is the story of the Seven Sticks.
