Ernest Digweed, a retired teacher from Portsmouth, England, left a rather
strange will when he died in 1976. He left $44,000 for Jesus Christ "on the
occasion of His return to this earth."
Mr. Digweed wanted to be sure the money didn't go astray. So he specified that
in order to claim it, Christ must return within the next 80 years. He must
return specifically "to reign on earth." And He must prove His identity to the
British government.
Mr. Digweed's probate attorney said, "I certainly anticipate we are going to
have a lot of trouble, particularly with cranks." And he asked anyone who might
be listening, "Who can tell who is the real Jesus Christ? Different people think
different things."
