| Angel Food |
|
| ¡°I am the bread of life.¡± ( John 6:48 , NIV ) |
|
I really don¡¯t know what angels have for lunch; but I do know my favorite dessert is angel food cake. Mom used to ¡°hide¡± a silver dollar in the hole of the cake on my birthday. Surprise!
God fed Israel ¡°angel food¡± - food from God - called manna. It nourished them well. Yet they grew tired of the same old menu. They murmured and complained. More food from heaven came. Quail this time. More complaints ensued. No surprise.
When Jesus announced to the Jews that He was the ¡°bread of life,¡± they began to murmur, too. They didn¡¯t want to acknowledge their dependence upon a carpenter from Nazareth. Humans often become arrogant while thinking they are self-sufficient. Jesus¡¯presence turned this prideful thinking on its head. The old manna pointed to the new. The old filled a physical void. Jesus fills our spiritual emptiness.
When they ate manna, they still died. When we consume the bread of life we know eternal life shall be given at the resurrection. What a divine banquet the Father offers those of us who adore His Son. Feast upon Him! |

Eternal Father, feed us with the nourishment that only Christ the Lord can provide. Fill us with your love. In Jesus¡¯name. Amen. - STEVEN CLARK GOAD, Blythe, California |
