Taste and See
I have just started bee keeping, it's early days and I have so much to learn, but I find how the bees work absolutely fascinating, and fresh honey flowing straight into a jar right from the hive is amazing to see and delicious to taste. Bees love eating honey, they go crazy over it. When a bee finds honey, not only do they enjoy eating it, but they instinctively tell the other bees where to find it too. One bee can discover some honey and suddenly there will be bees coming from all over to enjoy it.
When we find something good, we tend to tell others about it too. The gospel message of Jesus is described as the Good News. The reason it's good news is simple. We are sinful, we needed a saviour, God loved us so much he sent Jesus to earth to die on our behalf, his sacrifice means our sins are forgiven and when we choose to believe in him we can have eternal life with him, now that’s great news indeed!
In Psalm 34:8 a poet named David wrote “taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him”. David’s words are like what a bee is to honey; once we have found Jesus, we have found something that is very good, and safe to find refuge in. It’s so good we want others to enjoy the good news too.
People are always drawn to the latest “good or popular” things or trends, but they always prove futile and eventually fade out, but with Jesus it’s good news that never ends, once you taste the good news of Jesus, all you will want to do is tell others where to find it and enjoy Him forever.
