If I were going to open a Store, what would you want to sell?
I would sell a special kind of food.
Anyone could come and eat this food it would be free for all, you don’t need to pay, all that’s required is you come, the invitation is open for all at any time.
You can eat all you needed and you will be completely satisfied. This kind of food will give you all you need to stay strong and healthy and you only need it when you’re hungry you don’t have to obsess over eating all the time, which gives you more time for other things.
So what is the food that’s free and so special that it solves all your needs for sustenance?
It’s the “meat” the word of God, Isaiah 55:1-9.
So is it real food? its like real food in that it does all the things food does but to our spiritual temple
Is it the text on a page or is to something more? The Word of God is the recorded revelation of all that He has done. He chose to show Himself through the stories of people who encountered Him and receive an invitation for connection after which we experience Him continuously via His word.
Once we have encountered God through the stories we discover is the exact representation of God the Father. We don’t have to toned anymore as to what God is like. Jesus said, “anyone who has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9)
