Remember that old Kellogg's Cornflakes commercial, "Taste it again for the first time." I think this is a good illustration of what God is calling us to concerning His gospel, savoring it again like it was the first time. Often as humans we grow bored with what we do every day, but the miracle of it all is just this, that as we continually come back and reflect on Christ's work on the cross on our behalf and live in the good of all that His sacrifice and resurrection provide, this work, and our Savior and God, become all the more sweet. We never grow tired of it as the Spirit teaches us again and again of the depths of Calvary. I am reminded of a few Scriptures in the Psalms...
16:11-You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forever.
34:8-Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
36:7-8-How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
The miracle that we can know God through Christ is quite sweet! May we spend hours relishing Christ!
