“Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4)
Why is bread not enough? Because if we feed a man’s body, but starve his soul, we have failed him. We recognize the need of children to be loved and nurtured – milk isn’t enough. Humans are complex creatures designed by God with yearnings for things other than just food. We crave companionship, love, information, work, and worship.
C.S. Lewis called it, “the inconsolable longing for we know not what.” Deep within the heart of all of us is the desire to know our eternal ancestry and the voice of the Creator Who breathed us into existence.
We need the Bible because we need Him. We must hear from our Father.
