It
has been written,
Man
shall not live and be upheld
And
sustained by Bread alone,
BUT
BY EVERY WORD
THAT
COMES FORTH FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD.
[Deut.
8:3.]
(Matthew
4:4, AMP)
Christ
Jesus said this:
31
Our forefathers ate Manna in the Wilderness.
As
Scripture says,
He
gave them Bread out of Heaven to eat.
[Exod.
16:15; Ps. 78:24.]
32
Jesus then said to them,
I
assure you, I most Solemnly tell you,
Moses
did not give you the bread from Heaven--
What
Moses gave you was not the Bread from Heaven--
But
it is My Father Who gives you
THE
TRUE, HEAVENLY BREAD.
33
FOR THE BREAD OF GOD
IS
HE WHO COMES DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN
AND
GIVES LIFE TO THE WORLD.
34
Then they said to Him,
Lord,
give us this Bread always—all the time!
35
I AM THE BREAD OF LIVE.
He
who comes to Me will never be hungry
And
he who believes on and Cleaves to
And
Trusts in and Relies on Me
Will
never Thirst any more—at any time.
(John
6:35, AMP)
48
I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE--
THAT
GIVES LIFE, THE LIVING BREAD
49Yur
forefathers at the Manna in the Wilderness,
and
[yet] they Died.
50
[But] this is the Bread that comes down from Heaven,
So
that (any)one may eat of it
AND
NEVER DIE.
51
I [MYSELF] AM THIS LIVING BREAD
Which
came down from Heaven.
If
anyone eats of this Bread,
HE
WILL LIVE FOREVER;
And
also the Bread
That
I shall give for the Life of the World
IS
MY FLESH (BODY).
52
Then the Jews angrily contended with one another
Saying,
How is He able to give us His flesh to eat?
53
And Jesus said to them,
I
assure you, most Solemnly I tell you,
YOU
CANNOT HAVE ANY LIFE IN YOURSELVES
Unless
you eat the flesh of the Son of Man
And
drink His blood--
Unless
you Appropriate His Life
And
[the Saving Merit] of His blood.
54
He who feeds on My flesh and drinks My blood
Has
(possesses now) Eternal Life;
AND
I WILL RAISE HIM UP [FROM THE DEAD]
ON
THE LAST DAY.
55
For My flesh is True and Genuine Food;
And
My blood is True and Genuine drink.
56
He who Feeds on My flesh and drinks My blood
DWELLS
CONTINUALLY IN ME,
AND
[IN LIKE MANNER DWELL CONTINUALLY] IN HIM.
57
Just as the Living Father sent Me,
And
I live by (through, because of) the Father,
EVEN
SO WHOEVER CONTINUES TO FEED ON ME--
WHO
TAKES ME FOR HIS FOOD
AND
IS NOURISHED BY ME--
Shall
[in his turn] live through and because of Me.
58
THIS IS THE BREAD THAT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN.
It
is not like the Manna which our forefathers ate
AND
YET DIED.
HE
WHO TAKES THIS BREAD FOR HIS FOOD
SHALL
LIVE FOREVER.
(John
6:31-58, AMP)
We
live in a World of Dead people,
Because
LIFE is found
In
Christ Jesus and His Word ALONE.
Only
those who have Christ Jesus
Living
In and Through them, have LIFE--
ONLY
THOSE WHO FEED CONTINUALLY
ON
CHRIST JESUS AND HIS WORD HAVE LIFE.
Why is
the World a Continual Mess?
Because
there is No Life in it.
Christians
who expect Life from the World,
Deceive
themselves.
Those
who feed on the World,
Feed
on that which is Dead.
