Faith's Checkbook (By: C.H. Spurgeon)

                                                                     Sustained by Feeding

"As the living father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me."
                                                                                            ~ John 6:57

  "We live by virtue of our union with the Son of God. As God-man Mediator, the Lord Jesus lives by the self-existant Father who has sent Him; and in the same manner, we live by the Savior who has quickened us. He who is the source of our life is also the sustenance of it. On Jesus Himself we feed.
  This is set forth to us in the Lord's Supper, but it is actually enjoyed by us when we meditate upon our Lord, believe in Him with appropriating faith, take Him into ourselves by love, and assimilate Him by the power of the inner life. We are entreated to eat abundantly, and it will be to our infinite profit to do so when Jesus is our meat and our drink.
  Lord, thank You that what is a necessity of my new life is also its greatest delight. At this hour I feed on You." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
