The Room PDF


 The Room is a short Christian allegorical story written by Tom Farr. It presents a powerful and emotional narrative about sin, forgiveness, and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The story is usually found circulating on Christian websites, blogs, or spoken-word performances rather than in print.

Summary:

The story follows a young man (the narrator) who finds himself in a mysterious room filled with drawers. Each drawer is labeled with categories such as "Girls I Have Liked," "Books I Have Read," and more disturbingly, "Lies I Have Told," "Things I Have Done When Angry," "Things I Have Said in Secret," etc.

As he opens the drawers, he discovers that each one is filled with index cards, and every card contains a record of his actions, thoughts, and feelings. The man is horrified to find that the handwriting on the cards is his own, and that the drawers stretch seemingly endlessly.

Just as he is overwhelmed with guilt and sorrow, he sees another figure enter the room—Jesus Christ. Jesus begins to go through the drawers and, with love and compassion, signs His own name over each of the cards, covering the narrator’s name. Jesus' hands are pierced, revealing the cost of that forgiveness.

The man tries to stop Him, but Jesus lovingly insists and continues to replace the narrator’s name with His own—taking responsibility for all the sins recorded there.

Themes:

  • Sin and guilt
  • Forgiveness and grace
  • Redemption through Jesus
  • Personal reflection and transformation
