1 Samuel 17:1-31; Isaiah 56:9-57:21; Romans 3:1-31
Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you. John 6:27 NKJV
The Great Chinese Famine (1958-1961) resulted in the deaths of tens of millions. Some desperate people found and ate a form of “edible clay”. It filled them, but they still starved to death. Why? This “food” had no life-sustaining nutrients. This illustrates our verse. Those who attempt to satisfy their spiritual hunger through physical pleasures will starve to death spiritually. God called the farmer in Luke 12 a “fool”, and that very night he died a spiritual
pauper (v. 20). Don’t make the same mistake! Receive the Bread of Life and find true spiritual nourishment. —Brian Cretney
Ever may our souls be fed, with this true and living Bread,
Day by day with strength supplied, through the life of Christ who died. —J. Conder
