"YOUR FATHERS DID EAT MANNA IN THE WILDERNESS, AND ARE DEAD." Jesus says, "I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever." In Jesus is all we need to refresh, strengthen, and satisfy us; but He must be received by faith. He must be daily received. Feeding upon Jesus yesterday will not suffice for today. We must go to Him afresh this morning. He presents Himself; He says, "Eat, my friends; yea, satisfy yourselves, my beloved." If the Holy Spirit has given us a spiritual appetite, if we are hungering after righteousness, Jesus, and Jesus only will satisfy; and we are heartily welcome to feed upon Him. Let us set Him before us many times in the day; let us freely feast upon Him; and if we feel weak, faint, or weary, let us take of this life-giving bread; and let us ever retain the sweet assurance, that if we feed on Jesus we shall live by Him, and live eternally with Him. Beloved, if you think you can make a living of anything but Jesus, or if Jesus is not enough in your estimation, you are either in a carnal state or an unhealthy condition of soul. Jesus only is the bread of life, the bread which came down from heaven!

For Meditation:
Jesus, Thou art the living bread
By which our hungry souls are fed;
In Thee alone Thy children find
The Spirit's food meet for the mind;
O let me evermore be fed
With this divine celestial bread!
