A young customs official noticed a woman crossing the border every day on a motorcycle with a wooden box strapped on the back of the motorcycle. The guard knew she was trying to smuggle something into the country so he stopped her and searched the box. There was nothing in the box except sand, so he had to let her pass. This happened many times, but each time there was only sand in the box. Finally, one day a more experienced guard searched her and arrested her for smuggling. She was guilty of smuggling motorcycles into the country. Are we just searching in the sand boxes of life and missing the real article…Jesus Christ? Focus on Jesus here and now! Amen? Amen!
