I have traveled from end to end of this country seeing all that is to be seen, and still I am not satisfied,” said a young, tourist who sat by my side on the top of a bus.
“I do not wonder at it; for that’s exactly what a wealthy and wise king said three thousand years ago, after he had traveled farther, and had seen a great deal more than you or I have ever seen.”
“Is that so?” asked the young tourist, quite astonished.
“Yes,” I said, pulling out my Bible. “Here are his words,
‘All things are full of labor; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.’ Ecclesiastes 1: 8, 14.
You will never be truly satisfied till you,
“Behold the Lamb of God who taketh away the sin of the world. This is the greatest of all sights—greater than anything in this world, and all who see Him are both saved and satisfied.”
The young fellow shook his head as he stepped from the bus saying, “I wish that were so with me.”
Yes, this is the greatest sight, reader. Have you seen him? You will never be truly satisfied until you see your sins borne away, and your title to glory made sure in the blood of the Lamb.
“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.” 1 Corinthians 2: 9, 10.
