The sleep of a
labouring
man is sweet.
Jesus said: "Labour
not for meat which
perisheth, but for
the meat which
endureth unto
everlasting life,
which the Son
of man shall give
unto you; for him
hath God the
Father sealed.
The prayer for
daily bread
includes not
only food to
sustain the
body,but that
spiritual bread
which will nourish
the soul unto life
everlasting. Jesus
bids us,"Labour
not for meat which
perisheth, but for
that meat which
endureth unto
everlasting life"
(John 6:27).
He says, "I am
the living bread
which came down
from; If any man
eat of this bread,
he shall live for
ever". Our Savior
is the bread of
life, and it is by
beholding His
love, by receiving
it into the soul,
that we feed upon
the bread which
came down from
heaven.
