A search of the Internet will reveal several different kite parables, including one in support of the (un-Christian) idea that by holding tight to the string of God鈥檚 commandments people can fly themselves up into the heavens. I鈥檇 like to suggest a different kite parable, one that is more in keeping with Christian orthodoxy. My parable focuses on the kite itself (not the string) as the gospel of salvation through faith in Christ alone, but not a faith that is alone.
