Not By Bread Alone Gregory Vincent Selby

Jesus, the "master" teacher, often used various figurative illustrations when He instructed hearers. One of the objects He included that was familiar to listeners was "bread." When Jesus was confronted by Satan while in the wilderness for 40 days, He was tempted to turn stones into bread. (Mt.4:3) However, His response was: "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." (Mt. 4:4) On another occasion, Jesus declared: "I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst." (John 6:35) For those who have been obedient to the Gospel of Christ, Jesus' words are spiritual food! It is my purpose to provide devotionals that will inspire you to consume the "bread of life." It is anticipated that you will consult the scriptures cited and use the questions for reflection to guide your thoughts and motivate you to a higher level of Christian service!
