DISCLAIMER: The following has been auto-transcribed. We hope it will help you to find the section of this audio file you are looking for.
In connections from our brothers just brought before the script became very forcibly before me in the 5th chapter of Marks Gospel. It's in connection with the daughter of Jairus.
We all know the story very well, but I'll just briefly mention what was before me.
This dear man John, came to Jesus and told him that his little daughter was at the point of death.
And he desired the Lord to come and restore her.
Well, we know further down the chapter it tells us that the Lord did.
He was throwing this little girl for life. She was the age of 12 years.
We read an ideal woman in the same chapter who had been slowly dying for 12 years.
But this little girl had been living for 12 years and then died.
But we find here that the Lord came on the sea.
And restore this little girl to life.
And in the last verse of theirs, and he starts them straightly, but no man should know it. And commanded that something should be given her to eat.
Now Jairus could not impart life to this little girl.
Of office he had received life. Then he could give her something to eat.
And the love of you and I, as our brother, has reminded us, you and I who have been blessed with divine life.
We need something to eat to sustain our souls.
And we have it in the Word of God, particularly in the Don 5 John 657. I will just read it. John 6.
And 57.
As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father.
So he that teaches me.
Even he shall live by me. Here we have Christ our food. We have Christ our life in the same chapter, but here it's Christ our food. And you and I who have received divine life, eternal life as a free gift.
Our blessed Lord through his work of Calvary. Now we need to be fed day by day.
And so this dear little girl was raised to life, and I think it is J Iris who is commanded to give her something to eat.
Well, as I said, he could not give her that life, but he could give her something to eat.
To refresh that life that she had received. And that's just what we each need.
We find in Hosea.
And the 12Th chapter in verse one says Efraim feedeth on wind.
Well.
That's one month of a diet. Is AE frame fetus on wind?
Israel and Egypt said on leaf, garlic and onions things of the earth.
Whether we feed the armed beloved.
And we also find Israel said on ashes and Isaiah 44 I think it is.
It says in Proverbs, the fool thieves on foolishness.
Tell me where thou seedest.
This is a striking word for us all, isn't it? Tell me where thou feedest.
What do we see upon the love and now that we have received a new life?
Do we feed upon the things of this world which are the perish and which can never sustain our souls or strengthen the spiritually? Now we need that divine food. We need to feed upon the Word of God and upon Christ, the living bread.
And so I felt as Arbella reminded us of that beautiful story.
That this came to my mind.
And reminded me that here we have another example.
Of one who needed something to eat.
And you and I need something to eat day by day. Tell me where thou feed it. Well, what have we been feeding on during the last three days? Thank the Lord, we've been feeding on the living bread on Christ, haven't we?
I know what a blessing has seen, how refreshing to our hearts and souls it has been defeated from Christ to have the true bread of heaven before us. He could say I am the living way which came down from heaven.
00:05:06
I'd like to read one of the verses in connection with that and six chapter of John.
Verse 1480 says I am the bread of life. Your father's did eat manner in the wilderness.
I'm still alive, No, and are dead.
This is the blade which comes down from heaven, that the man in the east are often not die.
I am a living bread which came down from heaven. If any man needed this bread, he shall live forever.
And the bread that I will give is my flesh.
I'm on with you, which I will give for the mind, for the world, eating and drinking our accents, which one cannot perform for another.
It's an individual matter, isn't it? You couldn't eat my stuff from me. I wouldn't be sustained in that way.
I have to reason myself. And so beloved, we do need, as our brother has a reminders from that parable. We need food for our souls also. We have received this divine life.
And this dear little girl came before me. Just the little girl, 12 years of age had passed away.
The Lord restore the life. The parents couldn't do that, but they could give us something to eat.
And is not responsible at the and privilege to to give the same something to eat from the word of God. And we need His love and friends. We need our souls to be sustained day by day, otherwise we shall faint. By the way, we will not grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So how important it is then that you and I should be fed daily.
And to feed upon Christ, the Living Bread and Blessed One, who has empowered the divine life to our souls.
We've been reminded that we have the same life as Christ himself. Wonderful thought.
On the screw.
Well, now that life needs to be sustained and strengthened, and it's only done by feeding upon the Word of God.
Upon Christ, the living bread.
Well, it's the only fall by having connection with this with our brother brought before. Give them something to eat.
Well, here we have something to eat, the precious word of God, the living bread, we told the labor not from at risk perishes, but the lavish endureth underlife eternal, the seed of in Christ. So how important it is day by day to read His precious word, to be strengthened and sustained in the inner man.
And to have that new spiritual energy day by day to go on, and not to give up, because Satan would have us give up. If they want the good of going on, everything is a failure. But no, friends, we have a divine life. We have the Holy Spirit to indwell us, to bring before us the things of Christ.
The teachers to encourage us to refresh our hearts and souls.
A Malathon beauty and responsibility after we have fed ourselves to feed others to our brother says some have stayed away from the meetings. I know it would be a fact too. Instead of getting nothing from the meetings, now there's there's no gift there, there's nothing there will go somewhere else.
Well, it's a very bad time, isn't it? They've lost their appetite. I remember reading of Gears or although had the TV very severely and her mother thought she could go to a warmer climate. So she was sent to a warmer climate where her friends live. And there she went and they met her and made a great faucet for the home and provided wonderful meals for her.
And she wrote home to her mother.
Her mother was a wonderful.
Meal was provided for her on arrival but she said mother I had no appetite. It give me no good. Mother I had no appetite.
There was a food provided for him, but Mama's friends, as the food provided for our souls is precious word on the Lord Jesus Christ. But do we have the appetite?
If not, we shall stop spiritually. Well, may the Lord help us to have our appetite increased.
For the Word of God, and for the person of Christ, the true bread from heaven.
