"I have traveled from one end of this country to the other, seeing all that is to be seen, and still I am not satisfied," said a young man who shared my seat on the bus.
"I don't wonder at it. That's exactly what a wealthy and wise king said three thousand years ago after he had seen a great deal more than you or I have ever seen."
"Is that so?" asked the young traveler in surprise.
"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, 148All things are full of labor; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. (Ecclesiastes 1:8)
14I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit. (Ecclesiastes 1:14).
"You will never be truly satisfied till you `behold the Lamb of God, which 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 man shook his head as he stepped from the bus, saying, "I wish that were so with me."
Yes, this is the greatest sight. Have you seen the Lamb of God taking away your sins? You can never be truly satisfied until you see your sins borne away, and your title to glory made sure by the blood of the Lamb.
