BITTERSWEET

Oh, how Grandmother Bouterse loved to bake using bittersweet chocolate, and she would always give me a snap off the end of the chocolate bar! I suppose that's why I love dark chocolate as much as I do,today. To this day,I will bite off a bar of a 75%Cocoa Chocolate bar.....Yum! It leaves such a good taste in my memory "taste" bank.
You know, when Christ left His disciples, it was bittersweet for them too. He had been so close to them, and their friendship and love for Him, was so sweet. His death was bittersweet for them to taste,at the end.
He tried to reassure them that it was necessary for Him to go, because He would send the Helper to be with them.
His leaving was necessary for the Holy Spirit to come!
Yes! Sending Him to His death was bitter!
Yes! Sending the Holy Spirit was sweet!
Yes!Sending us Jesus Christ, was bittersweet!
But aren't we glad He did?
