You Have it All in Christ

“Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread out of heaven to eat.’ Jesus then said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.’ Then they said to Him, ‘Lord, always give us this bread.’ Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.’” John 6:31-35

Every individual who has trusted Jesus for his salvation has received the Source for his most compelling needs in the person of the indwelling Christ.

Christ is the Bread of Life. He is the Sustenance Who nourishes our innermost being. Our hunger for meaning and purpose in life is fully satisfied in Christ. He is meaning; He is purpose. We want not for significance in life when we have Christ as our life.

Christ is the Water of Life. He channels His all-sufficient life through our earthen vessels - drenching us with His joy, peace, love, hope, contentment, strength, and steadfastness. He quenches our thirst for self-worth, assuring us of our inestimable value to Him. He freely gives us His abundant life.

Christ is the Light of Life. He enlightens us with the truth that is eternal, bequeathing us wisdom for the journey. He sheds His light upon what is truly valuable so that we can pursue those things which are profitable, not foolishly chasing empty dreams or false, deceiving philosophies.

When you have Christ, you have it all - meaning, purpose, life in its fullest sense, truth, and wisdom. You belong to the Creator, Sustainer, and End of all things.
