The Spiritual Side of Pizza

"Pizza and soda, there on the table; Dig in, and eat as much as you're able." Yet I beheld, with a spiritual eye, As I gazed upon that pizza pie! If you've got a moment, I'd love to share The spirituall analogies I saw there. When the box was first opened, and we were ready to eat, The first thing I saw was plenty of MEAT! On top of this, there was abundance of cheese. (That's solidified MILK, if you please!) Then the tomato sauce-which was red, Reminded me of the BLOOD Jesus shed! As I looked even further, my eyes were then led, To the golden crust-one form of BREAD It is cooked with OIL, which makes it taste so well, And was RESURRECTED from the oven(a..k.a. sheol, or hell) The circular shape was ETERNAL--no beginning nor end And it had been cut(WOUNDED) time and again! It's best when it's hot-and so should we be! You might even find SALT if you ordered anchovies. People come to eat and to be refreshed. Does our spiritual food do any less? Pizza can be delivered to your front door. Shouldn't we likewise "deliver" the Gospel? For sure! So eat your pizza, and enjoy your meal; But don't neglect spiritual food, which is even more real!
