One beggar telling another beggar where to find bread

Morning: Psalm 31; Deuteronomy 7:12-16; Titus 2:1-15

Evening: Psalm 35; John 1:35-42

Famous quotes sometimes get attributed to different people. If they are true, it may not matter. David Niles, a Sri Lankan pastor is the one mostly credited with saying that the Christian life is “one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread”. Andrew was inspired by Jesus; he told his brother Simon (Peter). Both brothers sought consolation and hope, they sought soul food. Andrew found this in Jesus; he told his brother. Others have been telling their siblings and friends the same good news ever since. When you find nourishment, you tell others where you found it. News spreads.
