Heaven's Unconditional Guarantee by Robert E.

Surgenor
HOW OFTEN MANUFACTURERS have made bold claims regarding their product, and with good intentions, have provided purchasers with written guarantees - only to go out of business later, leaving their customers with worthless guarantees. Other companies with no scruples provide so-called guarantees with their products that are not guarantees at all, if one reads the fine print! Such is this world - unstable, ever-changing, and often deceitful. However, I want to present to you a guarantee that is uniquely different. It was given over 1900 years ago and is still good today. This guarantee has been indelibly written on the pages of Holy Scripture and will endure throughout eternal ages. It was spoken by the most lovely and unique Person that ever walked on earth - the Lord Jesus Christ. This guarantee is backed by all the resources of heaven itself. It can never be altered! It can never fail! It is easy to understand - and it is for you! Read it carefully. "And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst." (John 6:35) Notice, the Lord likens Himself to bread. The setting was quite unique. He had just fed a multitude of over 5,000 people by multiplying five barley loaves and two small fishes, thus manifesting His power as God the Creator. Instead of laboring for the food which perisheth, He exhorted them to seek for the food "which endureth unto everlasting life" (John 6:27). In other words, the Lord stressed that it was more important to obtain everlasting life than anything this world could offer. Is the obtaining of God's salvation more important to you than wealth, health, fame or pleasure? It should be, "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" (Mark 8:36). The Lord then reveals His origin and the purpose of His coming. "For the bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world" (John 6:33). In Eastern lands, bread is the primary and principal food; it satisfies all and no one tires of it. What bread is to the body, Christ is to the soul. In other words, the Lord is saying, "You are in a state of spiritual hunger. I have come down from heaven as the only One who can meet your spiritual need. Like bread, I am accessible to

all, I am suited for all, I can satisfy all, and you will never grow tired of Me." He said, "I am the bread of life." The life that He mentions is everlasting. Notice, He does not say, "I amA bread of life," as if there were other sources. None but Christ can truly claim to be the source of life. No searching of the human mind or longing of the heart can find God apart from Him.

AUSTRALIA'S NARDOO PLANT


In the central desert of Australia, there grows a strange plant called the nardoo, bearing leaves like clover. Two Englishmen, Burk and Wells, who were making explorations of that vast land, failing to find other food, began to eat the leaves and roots of the nardoo plant. It seemed to satisfy them; however, they grew weaker every day, and more emaciated. They were not hungry, for the plant seemed to satisfy their hunger, but there was no real nourishment and actually the opposite effects were being produced. Their strength departed until they couldn't crawl more than a mile each day. At last one of them perished of starvation the other was rescued. Man's hunger is twofold. (1) Bodily hunger - Man is dependent upon the fruits of the ground to sustain physical life. The average American consumes over 50 tons of food and 13,000 gallons of liquid in his lifetime. (2) Mental hunger - Man's heart hungers for happiness. His intellect hungers for truth. Hiswill hungers for liberty. The success of a man's life is to prevail over conditions that would chain him. To satisfy these hunger pangs, Satan has a great variety of delusions. For low natures he has - coarse animal pleasures; for intellectual natures - the arts and sciences; forambitious natures - politics and military power; for frivolous natures - the amusements of this world; and for religious natures - rites, ceremonies, penances and good works. The result of eating such false bread is that the hunger of the soul is deadened and a false appetite created, which grows on what it feeds. This bread of death, like the nardoo plant, consumes the soul instead of supporting it. Thus man drifts farther and farther away from God, not realizing that he is starving.

GENUINE AND LASTING SATISFACTION


Christ speaks of Himself as "the true (real, ideal, genuine) bread from heaven" in contrast to the false bread that this world has to offer your soul (John 6:32). Through Christ's death on the cross, God has provided eternal life and true satisfaction for you. Why not come as you are (a sinner) to Him and receive Him; believe on Him and the guarantee of heaven will be yours. You

will NEVER hunger or thirst in your mind and soul again. The satisfaction that heaven alone can give will be yours forever! The Lord urges you to take the step no matter how much you have failed. There is no soul that He will not receive with open arms. Listen to His final words of assurance, "Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out" (John 6:37). As the Bread of Life, He invites all spiritually hungry souls to Himself, regardless of race or social status. Why not take Him at His word - NOW! "I tried the broken cisterns, Lord, But, ah! the waters failed! E'en as I stooped to drink they fled, And mocked me as I wailed." "Now none but Christ can satisfy, None other name for me! There's love, and life, and lasting joy, Lord Jesus, found in Thee!"
