| Bread — Part 2 |
| “Jesus said … My Father giveth you the true bread from heaven … I am that bread of life. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die” (John 6:32, 48, 50). |
| Remember the rat, the English robin, the thrush, the crow, the squirrel, the pigeon, and the four magpies we mentioned in yesterday’s meditation? They were all hungry for the bread that was broken up and spread on the garden table every morning. It was so convenient and so accessible. |
| But, the question remains, what about you? Is there a daily hunger for the Word of God? Most of us live in lands where Bibles are plentiful and can be purchased at very little cost. Many of my readers, no doubt, have several Bibles in their homes already. But how much are we feeding on and enjoying them? Are we feeding on Christ through the Word of God every day? As we have already cited, the Lord Jesus is the “Bread of Life.” If we are going to grow and mature in our Christian experience, we must feed on the Word, and be like the Patriarch of old, who said, “I have esteemed the words of His mouth more than my necessary food” (Job 23:12). |
