Good morning, Pastor John.
I love what you said last night about how if a plant became an animal, it would want to eat grass, and if an animal became a human, it would want human food, and if humans became angels, we would want angel food! Jesus filled us with His Spirit, and now we want to eat what Jesus eats. We really are not human anymore – at least our hearts are not! These human bodies have to eat this worldly food to keep going, but what Jesus gives us is what makes us live!
Oh, Pastor John, that is so good to me! It deepened the feeling of Psalm 74:19: “Oh, do not put the life of Your turtledove into a creature, a creature among Your afflicted people! Do not ever forget!”
Whew! We really were born again with new hearts and new natures. We do not belong in this old world. And how can death have a sting when we know that!
I love how right that feels!
Psa. 63:5 “My soul will be satisfied as with the best food and abundance. And with joyful lips, my mouth will praise you and abundance.”
Psa. 78:18 “And they tempted God in their heart by asking for food according to their own will.”
Jn. 4:32 “But he said to them, ‘I have food to eat that you don’t know about.’”
Jn. 4:34 “Jesus said to them, ‘My food is to do the will of Him who sent me and to finish His work.”
Jn. 6:27 “Do not labor for food that perishes, but for food that endures unto eternal life, which the Son of man will give you, for God the Father has sealed him.”
