Burger House

The name Burger House seems to be an obvious mom and pops, simple but cheap, burger joint. Oh but there is so much more to it than that. Burger House is a restaurant in Miami, AZ, right off the main highway going through town. For many passing through Miami, its easy to go right on by without a second look, but to a few it is a tradition to stop. To the common person Burger House isn't that appealing. But to me its the best of its kind in AZ. Another little known fact is that Burger House isn't known for its burgers, its known for its Mexican food. So the saying "don't judge a book by its cover" rings true for other things in this life.


One of those things is Jesus Christ.  Jesus of Nazareth was what seemed to be a simple man. Oh but there was so much more to him than that. Jesus grew up in Nazareth, just north of Jerusalem. We learn form scripture that Nazareth was not a place known for good things, "Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?" John 1: 46. Jesus had many disciples as he taught, how many were there for him when he was crucified? " And when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.(Isaiah 53:2)" He was not famous, handsome, or wanted by most people. But to some he was who they had waited their whole life for. Jesus didn't win the Nobel Prize, he wasn't wealthy, he was much more than that. He was the greatest man that ever walked the face of the Earth. He has done more for you and I than any other person has, can and will do. He gave his life that we may all live. Today there are many that pass by Jesus Christ unaware of the blessings that come from knowing Him.
Come to know Jesus Christ better by reading the Book of Mormon, and Bible.
