One day while traveling through the mountains of British Columbia, Canada, we saw something that made us pull off the road in a hurry! There, parked below the highway, was a huge, green, dump truck—the largest we had ever seen!
It was amazing to get up close to this big, big truck. We grown-ups were only half as tall as the wheels! We decided it would take a ladder to get up to the cab.
A sign stated that this truck was used in the mines nearby, probably to haul loads of ore to be processed. The sign also stated that this was the largest truck in the world! It was fun to have seen this interesting sight.
We were reminded of the popular books of world records that our children like to look at. In these you can read about the world’s largest airport, the office building with the most floors, and many other “greatest” things. We also found this huge truck listed in the record book.
We need to turn to another book to read about the greatest LOVE in the world. In the Bible we read: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man [Christ Jesus] lay down His life for His friends” (John 15:1313Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13)). Tremendous love! We also are told that “God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:88But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)). Who would not want to experience such great love? You won’t find it anywhere else! Come to the Lord Jesus today and you will “know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge” (Ephesians 3:1919And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. (Ephesians 3:19)).
Here is a wonderful Bible verse which I saw hanging on the wall in a friend’s home:
For God—the greatest Person,
So loved—the greatest love,
The world—the greatest company,
That He gave—the greatest act,
His only begotten Son—the greatest gift,
That whosoever—the greatest invitation,
Believeth in Him—the greatest simplicity,
Should not perish—the greatest deliverance,
But have everlasting life—the greatest possession.
Not everyone can see the biggest truck in the world, but everyone can experience the greatest love in the world. Have you?
