The young mother stood at the cash register. You could almost hear the
laughter in her eyes. Her grocery cart had been full. Item after item was
unloaded and tabulated. Her grocery bill
came to over $70. She, though, paid less than
$18. Why? COUPONS!
The woman simply offered coupons. She had collected these little slips of paper
from various sources and gave them to the clerk. The slips lowered her bill by
over 75%. Can mere paper slips do that?
NO!
All these coupons did was offer a promise.
Companies offered the coupons and thus promised the grocery store that the debt
for the purchased items would be paid by them rather than the customer. This
young mother believed what the coupons said. She thought those offering the
coupons were truthful. She believed that she would receive all that the coupons
promised. She had faith in those coupons.
CHRIST’S
PROMISE
