Feeding
On Christ
"He that eateth me, even he shall live by me."
John 6:57. May God let the reader and the writer into the
secret meaning of these words. We live by what we feed on.
Herein lies the whole secret of holy living. To live by
Christ is to live like Christ. It is to live by His power,
His love, His holiness, His life. To thus live we must
feed on Him. He is to be our daily food. There are a few
rare souls today (would there were many more) who are
hungering for more and more of God, and yet they are
coming a little short of the fullest satisfaction. There
are those who have a craving that is not fully met—a
thirst that is not wholly quenched. They come short of
living as Godlike as they should. They try to live nearer
Christ, but they fail. They need to feed more on Christ.
He is the Life Bread of the soul. They live the most
holy who assimilate most of Him. We feed on Him by
bringing our soul into His presence and absorbing Him. In
loving thought of Him, in meditating upon Him, in reading
His Word and praying in the Spirit, we feed on Him. Every
out going of the heart in love toward Him is supping of
Him. By opening its pores and letting the sunlight in, the
flower feeds on sunlight. Open your soul to Jesus and let
Him shine in.
