P. 49
Those who lose their life will find true life, but those who seek to keep and protect their
soulish and fleshly life will lose out on obtaining real life.
Once again Yahweh has brought His people to a wilderness where decisions must be
made. Once again He is giving them manna to eat. Will the church be content with His
provision, or will they long for the fleshpots of Egypt?
John 6:32-35
Yahshua therefore said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has
given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread
out of heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and
gives life to the world." They said therefore to Him, "Lord, evermore give us this
bread." Yahshua said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me shall not
hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.”
Never has the saying “You are what you eat” been more true. As we eat the Bread of
Life we become like Him. As He did not seek to save His life, neither will we. As He sought
above all to do the will of the Father, so will we. As He never did anything of His own
initiative, neither will we. As He would not stretch out His hand to do anything that was not
the will of the Father, neither will we.
Only in this way will we enter into the Sabbath rest set before us. Let us receive the
manna that God gives us from heaven with thanksgiving. Let us not enter into the error of
the children of Israel. This is Paul’s message to us and this is the message of the manna.
