Title: Table of bread (John 06:34)
Content Let's think about the position of the top of the rice cake once again. Until they stand in front of the table of bread, they must pass through the east gate (the only gate), the altar of burnt offering, and the laver before they can enter the sanctuary.
In other words, those who can enjoy the bread on top are those who have passed the altar of burnt offering and those who have washed their hands in the laver. Through the blood sacrifice on the altar of burnt offering, they went to God, confirming that God had forgiven their sins. We must think of the cross in front of this altar. No one can come to God without going through this cross. Then those who became children of God who were cleansed by the blood of Christ had the most important problem solved. The ideal that we live on this earth is that we must continue to fight the problem of sin. That's why we live a life of washing our hands every day. By living a sanctified life, we come to God and now eat the bread.
3. The sufficient and abundant showbread is twelve. The twelve represent the twelve tribes of Israel. This bread was presented every Sabbath, and the old bread was eaten by the priests. The priest is the representative of Israel, so all the people of Israel eat it. There is always this bread in the sanctuary. It means that anyone who enters the sanctuary will receive bread. As we read earlier, the Bread of Life is Jesus Christ. That the Word became flesh and dwells among us.. Jesus fed 5,000 people with 5 barley loaves and 2 fish and left 12 squares... It shows the richness of Jesus. is.
In today's text, he said, "He who comes to me will never go hungry."
How rich and full is the waters of the Pacific Ocean? It is the Lord who created the Pacific Ocean, and how rich is our Lord John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father, the glory and grace and Full of truth. John 1 16 Of his fullness we all received, grace upon grace. Beloved, our Lord is truly a fulness. So let us come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. John 15:5 For apart from me you can do nothing. Romans 7 24 O wretched man I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Romans 7 25 I will give thanks to God through our Lord Jesus Christ. No one can live without eating Jesus, the Bread of Life.
4. Priest's toil Children these days may not know how bread is made. You just know that the machine will do it for you. I only know that rice cakes are bought and eaten. In the past, when we were young, the day we made rice cakes was a very enjoyable day and a day of great events. Even before eating the rice cakes, the joy was great.
The priests had to work very hard to make the bread for the sanctuary. Picking wheat, pounding it in a mortar, laying it on a millstone, beating it with a sieve, kneading it, and roasting it over a fair fire must not have been difficult.
The same goes for other people, but if I can get a good sermon, I don't spare any money to get the material.
Beloved, I pray in the name of the Lord that you think of the hard work of making bread and eat it with grace. And we must pray. You need encouragement. 1 Corinthians 16:18 says, “They have refreshed me and your hearts; therefore, know these people.”
5. How to eat bread Psalm 119:103 How sweet are your words to me, sweeter than honey to my mouth. Psalm 19:10 They will desire it more than gold, that is, much fine gold, and sweeter than honey and honeycomb. Acts 17 11 The Bereas were more gentle than those in Thessalonica, so they received the word with all eagerness and searched the scriptures daily to see if it was so. Acts 17 12 Many of them believed, and there were not a few Greek ladies and men. But, everyone, we have something to learn from the Bereans. It means that we received the Word with earnestness and secondly, we studied the Bible every day. Just as food tastes better the more we chew, it is a great blessing to us when we eat while chatting with the Word.
We believe that we should imitate the attitude of the psalmist. Psalm 119 20 My heart is broken by always longing for your ordinances. Psalm 119131 I opened my mouth and panted because I longed for your commandments. Psalm 119147 I cried before dawn and waited for your word; I think it's preferable. Bible study is like private tutoring. The more you do it, the better, because we want to teach you what you are lacking. However, if you usually look at it, you will see that children who are good at studying are more likely to do more, and those who are not studying are more disliked.
I said that you will long for it more than gold. Blessed are those who meditate day and night. Faith is by hearing, Hearing is the word of God of Christ. I pray in the name of the Lord that we will all become faith that is recognized by God by standing firm in the Word. Amen
