The Bread of Life

By C. M. S.

BLESSED be that bread of life that satisfies the hunger of the soul. Mankind has eaten to the full of the “bread of affliction,” and struggled from the cradle to the grave for the bread of temporal sustenance; but now, out of the largeness of the abundance of the mercy of God comes the free gift of the bread of eternal life, which, if any man eat, “he shall live forever.” We were shackled to sin; Christ has burst the shackles for us, and set us free. We were bound by transgression to the prison-house of the dead; but Christ is risen, and holds the keys of the grave, and will set at liberty every soul that has put his trust in him. We have eaten of the fruit of our labor, that could not give us life; he has given us in its place the life of God, that makes eternity ours, and will permit our feet to tread this earth when sin has been consumed. All this has come—has come to us—through Him who is the bread of life.
C. M. S.
