Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world” (John 6:32-33).
Car Sickness all Forgotten
A visiting pastor spoke at the Winona Lake Brethren Church. He told the congregation that as a child he used to have a terrible time with car sickness. He would travel for 20 miles and throw up. He soon developed an inferiority complex from his childhood because his parents would apologize for him whenever they ride with someone else.
It so happened that his grandma lived 100 miles from home, and the trips to grandma’s were always terrible. But once arrived, he would take off his shoes and roam around the beautiful country. Grandma would bake the most delicious cake and always say “yes.” For two to three days, he would thoroughly enjoy his stay at grandma’s, until it was time to return.
And while at grandma’s, the preacher concluded, he had forgotten all about the car-sick trip going there. “God will wipe away every tear from their eyes . . . for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:4).
Beautiful on Wrong Side
A little city girl was in the country for the first time and saw the night sky.
“Oh, mother, if heaven is so beautiful on the wrong side, what must it be like on the right side!”
Only One Sigh Away
We measure distance by time. We are apt to say that a certain place is so many hours from us. If it is a hundred miles off, and there is no railroad, we think it a long way; if there is a railway, we think we can be there in no time. But how near must we say heaven is?—for it is just one sigh, and we get there.
~ C. H. Spurgeon
