A different food is on a menu newly introduced to me. Others say that it is a delight to experience. “Taste and see that it is good, it is very good.” I do not know because I have never tried it. “Can these reviews be true? I have been disappointed before,” I say to myself. “Remember that super-delight, ‘guaranteed to please’. I suffered for what seemed like a lifetime.”
Reading the menu I see the fare has some of my favorite ingredients and others I had never heard of before. “You will be blessed by the experience,” the waiter invites. Hunger drives me. I am famished. No nutrition was found in the previous provisions.
“What if I do not like it?”
“You will not be disappointed. The delectable provision uniquely suits everyone’s needs, desires, and hopes. Taste and see that it is good. A blessing to the famished.”
Intrigued I tell the waiter I would like a taste of the fare. An old dish with an ancient recipe aboard is placed before me. The appearance is tantalizing. The smells are eye brightest. It says to me, “I am the bread of life. He who partakes of me will never be hungry. He who drinks will never go thirsty.”
That is why I have become a waiter for the bread of life. Now I say to you, “Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him. For I have and I testify that these words are true. The Lord Jesus is good.”
