Breadfruit

HAVE you ever heard of breadfruit? Have you ever tasted it? I don’t suppose many of our readers have ever tasted that fine food, and then I suppose there are others who eat lots of breadfruit, but they have never tasted apples, or maple syrup. Just this summer we were given octopus to eat, and as a special gift we were offered a dozen snails for dinner! We find as we go here and there that people in different lands eat different food, and sometimes they find it hard to learn to like what they have never tasted before.
But with our souls, we all need the same thing. You may be reading this paper in Europe, England, the Tropics, or some other place, and you may smile at the things we have eaten, but there is one food that we all need, and that food is the Bible. Yes, I have read the Bible since I was a boy at school, and have found from its pages that I was a sinner. I also found that the Lord Jesus died on the cross to wash away my sins, and now I know, by faith in Him, that He has washed away all those guilty stains forever.
And now that the Lord Jesus has saved me, I enjoy reading the Bible just as you enjoy eating apples, or breadfruit, or octopus cooked in rice! Wherever you may be, as you read this paper, let me beg you to read God’s Word, the Bible, and you will find in it all that you need for life and godliness.
