0730. THE BREAD OF GOD

THE BREAD OF GOD

"For the Bread of God is He which cometh down from Heaven, and giveth life unto the world" (Joh_6:33).

The Bread of God is not only the bread of life, but the life-giving and life-sustaining bread from Heaven. God has in mercy reckoned up the real need of this poverty-stricken, starving-to-death world; and so gave His Son, as His gift of bread, for famished souls. The bread of fashion, of riches, or worldly preferment, soon becomes stale. There is no real soul-nutriment in the bread baked in the world’s oven. The life-giving bread must come from the life-giving God. Jesus Christ, the Bread of God- the Bread that delights the heart of God-and, oh, what grace that this Bread has come from Heaven to give life unto the world. Have you received it? Are you feeding on it? He that eateth this Bread shall live for ever.
