Life Comes From Christ

The readings include John 6 to 11, Psalms 102, 103. Wonderful in its depth of meaning is John 6, and it will bear very much thought and study. May it impress its lesson of the necessity of eating of the bread from heaven if we would live. And yet that other wonderful lesson, that it is not in the mere materials which we eat, for it is from the living, eternal Word of God that we receive the life, and thus Jesus impresses the great lesson of the chapter in verse 63, "The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." And the one great lesson of all the scriptures of this week is that life comes from Him, closing with the story of the resurrection of Lazarus, and containing those words of comfort, which have been repeated over the dead so many thousand times since: "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in Me, tho he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die."
