Kerr's Korner
No Mayonnaise
By John Kerr
I placed an order at a local QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) recently. As usual I asked what was on the sandwich and made sure they did not put any mayonnaise on it. In a joking vein, I even told the sandwich artist to make sure that mayonnaise did not touch my sandwich and that if it was up to me there would not even be any mayonnaise in the building. He informed me that it was not up to me and assured me that there was and will be mayonnaise in the building.
When my order arrived, the label was stuck right on the wrapper guaranteeing “NO MAYONNAISE”. Unwrapping the delicacy I removed the crown of the masterpiece exposing the dreaded white substance. All was not a loss. They did apologize and made a new one for me that did not bear the certification label, but was what it was supposed to be – mayonnaise free. I took the other home to Jan and we all lived happily ever after.
If you give a little thought, even the smallest things in life have some sort of spiritual lesson. Guarantees are not always what you might think. A little sign, sticker, or certification only goes so far. I wonder about the best guarantee ever?
Genesis 22:15The angel of the LORD called to Abraham from heaven a second time 16and said, “I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, 18and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.”
Hebrews 6:13When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself, 14saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.” 15And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.
