LESSON TEXT:
John
"What shall it profit a man
if he gain the whole world and
lose his own soul?".
These were the words of
Jesus Christ, Savior of
mankind.. .and they are as
true today as they were all
those centuries ago when they
were spoken! For the true
Christian readily recognizes
that only in Christ can our
deepest needs be met He is
the "living bread" of man's
suul, just as bread is the "staff
of life" of our corporeal
ex lstance.
The miracle of the feeding of
the five thousand is well
known enough that we do not
have to belabor the details.
Suffice it to say that it was of
the utmost importance. ..as
witness the fact that all four
Gospels record it.
"I am. ..the bread of life"
said Jesus; those who came
unto Him and accepted Him as
their Savior, the Son of God
descended upon men, would
never hunger, nor would they
thirst! For unlike the manna
that had been promised and
provided the Israelites in their
flight from tyranny (promised
by Moses through the auspices
of God) Christ, accepted, had
no end in regard to provisions
for the sustenance of
mankind. It would not have to
be physically garnered; it
would not cease when the
Promised Land was attained;
it would continue into infinity!
Christ, in fact, was speaking
figuratively to the people, and
He never claimed otherwise.
Detractors from the Bible
tend to be literal in their in
terpretation. They were in
Biblical times; they are
today and probably will be
tomorrow! But for the true
believer, within it's pages the
Bible carries many messages;
the message of faith; the
message of hope; the Message
of love.. .and the message of
comfort for man's souL For it
matters not the circumstances
of the individuals there are
millionaires who rejoice in
their monetary riches, but
who are improvished
spiritually, just as there are
poor in the area of worldly
possessions who are, never
theless, blessed with spiritual
riches beyond belief!
In this complex world in
which we live today, many
panaceas are sought for what
ails mankind; alcohol as a
crutch to weather heartbreak
and disappointment; drugs to
remove the user from a world
he is not able to accept ..either
mentally or emotionally.
But do they cure the
ailments of the soul' No: The
same problems exist when
their effects have worn off.
they have not disappeared
rather, they have been
compounded '
Hou much Ix-tter to be the
servant of Christ than the
slave of addiction! How much
more constructive is the
strengthened soul, than the
debilitated one! For the an
swers to the problems of
mankuid is not going to be
found in a pill, or a bottle... but
in God.
In reviewing the mirscle of
the feeding of the five
thousand, let us not make the
same mistake as some of
those who witnessed it! I et us
not be awed from
materialistic standpoint, as
were some who attended on
that occasion; let us, rather,
be awed by it's spiritual
portent!
