Earthly Pursuits End Miserably
John 6:26-27
Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the miracles…


As a river leads a man through sweet meadows, green woods, fertile pastures, fruit-laden fields, by glorious buildings, strong forts, famous cities, yet at last brings him to the salt sea; so the stream of this world carries along through rich commodities, voluptuous delights, stately dignities, all possible content to flesh and blood, but, after all this, brings a man to death, after death to judgment, after judgment to hell.

(T. Adams.)
