Feed on God’s Word

Tip the Waiter
“I am the bread of life.” John
6:48.
Have you experienced the pleasure of
being waited upon by a knowledgeable and attentive person at a restaurant? It really
feels great. Well, next time you sit down to feed on God’s Word, I highly recommend
Jesus-the very best Waiter in the universe.
First of all, Jesus is always very glad
to see me take the time to eat at His restaurant. He welcomes me in such a
positive and gracious way that to humbles me, and I have to confess that it has
been much too long since I have eaten at His bountiful table. As He leads me to
a quiet and sunny place, I noticed that there are unfortunately many empty
tables just waiting to be filled with Hungry people.
Jesus always anticipates my every need. He
knows just what I am hungering for. He helps me to choose just the right thing
from the very extensive menu and the food is truly out of this world. I don’t see
how this Waiter does it, but every time I eat there, He also always calmly sits
down and shares the, meal with me.
When I insist He has other, more important
people to wait on. Jesus gently tells me that I alone am His favourite customer
and He is always staring out the window, anxiously anticipating my next visit.
The end of the meal is always my favourite
time, for it is time to tip my favourite Waiter. I take out my wallet, my
schedule, the deed to the house, and everything that I have and give it to Him.
It is not near enough to pay for the meal but I am so happy, sitting there in
perfect peace, well-fed and full of His grace.
“By the way, Jesus, could I please have
a take-out bag? I know that I will want to share this great food with others
during the day.”
I
would like to hear your experience or testimonials.
