The Bread of God

Who can read the words "the bread of God" in this chapter (vv. 6, 8, 17, 21, 22) and not think of our Lord Jesus Christ? Those specific words are used only seven times in Holy Scripture (Leviticus 21:6, 8, 17, 21, 22; 22:25, John 6:33). It seems obvious to me that our Lord Jesus referred to this 21st chapter of Leviticus when he said, "The bread which I give is my flesh, which I give for the life of the world." (John 6:51). — "The Bread of God is he that cometh down from heaven" (John 6:33).

The showbread the priests offered continually upon the Table of Showbread pointed to him, our Lord Jesus Christ, who is "The Bread of God."
• He is the Bread that satisfies God.
• He is the Bread God gives by which our souls are satisfied.
• He is the Bread God's servants constantly spread on the table in his house.
• Christ is our daily Bread, the Bread we must have, the Bread we must eat, the Bread we want!
