Come pray at the church office 6pm Sunday.

 

“It is to us not the luxury of refinement, but the staple food of life. We need no fine words when the heart is heavy, neither do we need deep problems when we are lying upon the verge of eternity, weak in body and tempted in mind. At such times we magnify the blessed simplicity of the Gospel! Jesus in the flesh made manifest becomes our soul’s bread. Jesus bleeding on the Cross, a Substitute for sinners, is our soul’s drink. This is the Gospel for babes—and strong men need no more.”

–Charles Spurgeon

 

Manna was bread suitable for the wilderness. When they were in the wilderness, it was much better for the tribes to eat what they called, “light bread,” than for them to be filled with the meat that they had in Egypt, or even the old corn which they enjoyed when they came into Canaan. Manna was suitable food for the climate and for their condition—and the Lord knew it. So the most suitable meat for us in this vale of tears is Christ Jesus. I believe that there is no meat like it in Heaven! And for this world, with its work and its weeping, with its toils and its troubles, its cares and its changes, its wars and its woes, its fears and its frets—there is nothing so suitable as the Lord Jesus—

Jesus, joy of loving hearts!
You Fount of life!
You Light of men!
From the best bliss that earth imparts We turn, unfilled, to You again.
We taste You, O living Bread,
And long to feast upon You still!
We drink of You, the Fountainhead, And thirst our souls from You to fill.”

Jesus is all the Bread that you need while you are on your way to Heaven and God!
