Thoughtful Analogies

Burroughs caught my attention with his descriptive analogies in today's reading. For instance his reference to the knife that cut the throat of a father's child got me thinking as to what sin really is and how much I should hate it. I also loved his illustration of the warmth of a fire. I find both of this illustrations very helpful as I consider communion and how little communion means if I don't seriously consider the cross and view it in faith.
