Christian and Jewish parents and religion teachers will value this unique story as it prompts discussions and examples of God’s love for them. Adoration, forgiveness, obedience, strength of a foundation, and the reward of doing the “right thing” are explored through Old Testament names, manner and verses. “Trouble Wears A Bell can serve as a reminder of how important the LORD is in our lives today. In this story, a rooster named Leviticus, serves as a true follower of the LORD through his daily role in proclaiming the LORD. In every day the LORD’s love for us is revealed through Leviticus, King Solomon and Moses’ faith and guidance which leads to salvation.
The story begins with a BIRTH Announcement which is interrupted……… it continues in a full circle which ends with the Birth Announcement being fulfilled.
In this story the character ,Leviticus,represents God’s Laws – (and laws after all are necessary to keep peace and order in society). It is Leviticus’ job to announce the birth of a New Lamb, however, he is unable to do so, as the lamb quickly loses his way (we are born with sin), because hehas no foundation. Repeated warnings go unheard as the NEW BORN LAMB continues to make wrong choices. Leviticus, King Solomon, and Moses, demonstrate their service and worship to the LORD, by wearing the Ephod, the robe and an engraving of HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
The new lamb is quickly lost and eventually found by the good Farmer (GOD), who asks him what he name is. The Lamb identifies HIMSELF with the only thing he knows, and tells God his name is “Trouble”.
Eventually, WITH HUMBLENESS AND HUMILITY, the Lamb is finally able to “Hear” and “Listen” thus, doing the” RIGHT THING”.
Joyfully the NEW BORN Lamb begins to experience a foundation and faith that he feels for the first time. With this spiritual growth the Lamb is able to stay on the RIGHT PATH which leads to a great reunion as he learns his true name as “Triumph” not “Trouble”.
The Circle of the story is completed when Leviticus is finally is able to fulfill his duty by announcing or “Crying Out” the birth of “Triumph” into the World
