They would not receive me because they felt that they were more profound in their theology than I. So, my last time with them I brought them all some Dutch chocolate. Since chocolate was very rare after the war, they eagerly accepted my gift. Later, when I stood to speak to them, I told them, "No one said anything to me about the chocolate."
They disagreed saying they at they had all thanked me for it.
"I did not mean that, " I said. "I mean no one questioned me about it. No one asked whether it had been manufactured in Holland or Germany, what quantities it contained of coca, sugar, milk, or vitamins. Instead of analyzing it, you just ate it.
Then I picked up my Bible and said, "It is the same with this Book. If you try to analyze it as a book of science or even a book of theology, you cannot be nourished by it. Like chocolate, it is to be eaten and enjoyed, not picked apart bit by bit.
