"Jesus said to a mixed multitude of sinners like me, 'Labor not
for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto
everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you; for him
hath God the Father sealed,' John 6:27. These sinners said unto him,
'What shall we do that we might work the works of God?' 'That ye
believe on Him whom he hath sent. My Father giveth you the true bread
from heaven, for the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven,
and giveth life unto the world: I am the bread of life; he that cometh
unto me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never
thirst. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any man
eat of this bread, he shall live for ever. And the bread which I shall
give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. Jesus
said unto them, Except ye eat the flesh, and drink the blood of the
Son of man, ye have no life in you: whoso eateth my flesh, and
drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father
hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, even he
shall live by me.' The Father giveth this bread, the Son giveth this
bread; whosoever will, may take of this bread, and the promise with
it. Father, I take this bread, I take and believe that I have in thee
eternal life, according to thy word. O holy and blessed Comforter,
Spirit of the Father and of the Son, whose office it is to take of the
things of Christ and show them unto his redeemed, when the bread and
the water that perish can no longer refresh this dying body, apply
this living bread and living water to my soul, that life may spring up
in the midst of death; and in that trying hour, bear witness with my
spirit that I dwell in Christ, and Christ in me, and that I shall
never die.
