Hope Road

“[There was] an old Scottish preacher who, as he was serving the bread and wine of the Lord’s Supper, noticed a young girl sobbing at the communion rail. As he passed her the bread, visible sign of the body of the Lord Jesus (’I give it for the life of the world,’ He said) the girl turned away her face, which was wet with tears.

“‘Tak’ it, lassie,’ said the old man. ‘It’s for sinners.’”
