How Did You Like My Sermon?

Looking out into the congregation, the young minister noted that the bishop was in attendance. After the service was over, the minister was shaking hands as the bishop exited. "How did you like my sermon, Bishop," the young man asked. "Young man, it was like the peace and mercy of God," replied the bishop. "It was like his peace in that it passed all understanding and like his mercy in that I thought it would endure forever."
