Bread From Heaven Constant exercise of faith in Christ, is the most important and difficult part of the obedience required from us. When by his grace we are enabled to live a life of faith in the Son of God, holiness follow, and acceptable services are done. God who gave the Old Testament saints that bread from heaven to support their natural lives, now gave us the true Bread for the salvation of our souls. Coming to Jesus, and believing on him, signify the same. Christ shows that he is the true Bread; he is to the soul what bread is to the body, nourishes and supports the spiritual life. He is the Bread of God. Bread which the Father gives, which he has made to be the food of our souls. Bread nourishes only by the powers of a living body; but Christ is himself living Bread, and nourishes by his own power. The doctrine of Christ crucified is now as strengthening and comforting to a believer as ever it was. He is the Bread which came down from heaven. It denotes the Divinity of Christs person and his authority; also, the Divine origin of all the good which flows to us through him. May we with understanding and earnestness say, Lord, evermore give us this Daily Bread.
