How sweet the name of Jesus sounds


I was sitting at my laptop, having a bit of a surf before bed, and i clicked onto one of my favourites - a sweet shop website, yummy yummy.

Now i'm quite a big fan of sweets, as anyone who ever comes to our house will testify, and i love the selection of sweets that are out there. You can get anything from aniseed balls to Drumstick lollies, Double dips to chocolate drops.

Now as i started this blog i don't really know where it is going. I think i wanted to say how cool sweets were.
But it also reminds me slightly of the Bible. The Bible is full of sweet truths. The sweetest being that Jesus died for us, all because God loves us mucky tasteless people.

Someone once said to me that i should get excited about the Bible as much as i do about sweets. Shouldn't we all? The Bible is so much better than sweets because the truths and promises inside are going to last forever.

The next time you're tucking into a pack of Haribo, or unwrapping that Wham bar, remember the goodness of God, the sweetness of His love, and the everlasting place that has been prepared for us with Him.
