God’s kingdom is like a four star restaurant in one of the world’s greatest cities. It’s chef is famous around the globe. The restaurant is regularly cited as one of the best on earth.
A young couple made plans to eat at this restaurant. They made their reservations two years in advance. During those years, they diligently saved money for their special night, because it was a very expensive restaurant.
When the night finally arrived, they put on their best clothes. They ordered a bottle of fine wine and several courses of food. They couldn’t believe how good it tasted. They savored every bite, every flavor.
At some point that evening, the world famous chef came to know about this young couple, how they had planned and saved and so eagerly anticipated this culinary experience. He could see the enjoyment on their faces.
When their bill arrived, all that was inside the little black folder was a simple note from the chef. “Tonight, dinner is on me.”
That’s what it’s like in God’s kingdom.
Wow. Just wow. What an image! Man, that is a sermon! A real message. Thanks, John!
Do I have permission to use this?
Terrific. Really terrific.
I really like this! Thank you! (hope you don’t mind it’s been shared on Google + and Facebook)
I second what Rocky said — may I use this, granting appropriate credit, of course?
Thanks, all. I’m happy for this to be used. I based this on a story I recently read about Charlie Trotter.
