Jesus said, ‘I am the Bread of Life; he who comes to me shall not hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst’ (35).
Jesus had enemies - ‘The Jews then murmured at Him, because He said, “I am the bread which comes down from heaven”’ (41).
Christ’s enemies are still with us. They ‘murmur among themselves’ (43).
How are we to respond to this situation? We must feed on Jesus Christ, ‘the Living Bread’ (51).
Whatever difficulties we may face, the Lord provides for us: ‘You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies’ (Psalm 23:5).
We have His invitation: ‘O taste and see that the Lord is good!’ (Psalm 34:8).
With His provision and invitation, let us make our response: ‘We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread, and long to feast upon Thee still’ (Church Hymnary, 571).
