We are currently in the middle of Passover week in Israel. Last Friday, many people burned all the bread and other wheat products in their houses and exchanged them for dry, tasteless matzah crackers for the next seven days. It is about this time of the week that people start to tire of the flavorless wafers and begin yearning for some rich, yeasty bread rolls, but they still have several more days to endure. But there is a wonderfully exquisite bread that can be eaten during Passover week that many have not yet tasted or even heard about. Jesus said,

“I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and are dead. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which comes down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.” (John 6:48-51)

I know this is a spiritual idea, but how do we feast on Jesus? How do we eat and drink Jesus every day? Let’s keep reading…“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.” (John 6:63) So, the Words of God are necessary food for our spiritual man, just as bread is necessary food for our physical man.

Therefore, if we should eat and drink the Lord’s presence and His Word for our spiritual food, what is it like to feast on Jesus? What nutrients (benefits) does our soul receive from our spiritual diet? Here are some verses from Psalm 34 that will give us a good idea…

“Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!…The young lions lack and suffer hunger; but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing…Who is the man who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.” “They looked to Him and were radiant, and their faces were not ashamed.”

Many blessings await those who taste the goodness of the Lord. As we feast on His Word, He will supply all our needs, both physically and spiritually. Long life and happy days are a benefit for those who keep their tongues and lips clean and filled with the Lord’s delights. This bread that Yeshua offers will bring a radiance to your soul and confidence to your outlook. And eternal life is the final product for everyone who eats this bread from heaven.

And as I said, there are still many, many people who haven’t tasted this wonderful bread of life. They are like those in the middle of Passover week who are living dry, flavorless lives with no hope of goodness in their future. They literally don’t know what they are missing out on–the vibrant life and health that comes from tasting the bread of salvation. This bread is too good to keep to ourselves. We need go forth and pass out samples of this living bread to anyone who will take it. Yeshua’s life-giving salvation is freely given to all who will open their hearts to taste Him.

May you be filled with all the goodness of the Lord as you taste Him in His Word. May your face be radiant with His blessings and your soul be filled with every good thing! Dig into the Word today. It will do your body good! And share a sweet morsel of God’s good word with someone else you meet who is hungry in heart and soul. Have a delicious day!
