'Our soul's sustenance
Our soul's sustenance
"I am the bread of life ." John 6:48
"I am the living bread that came down from Heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever!" John 6:51
It is not enough that Christ gave Himself on the cross for sinners, and now holds out in pierced hands the blessings of redemption.
These stupendous acts of love and grace alone will not save us. We must reach out our hands and accept and take what Christ so graciously and lovingly offers to us.
Then, since bread us must be eaten to nourish, we must receive Christ into our life as our soul's sustenance , feeding daily upon Him.
