Nem só de pão vive o homem
'Nem só de pão vive o homem' — essa declaração de Jesus ao diabo no deserto revela que a Palavra de Deus é o verdadeiro alimento que sustenta a vida em plenitude.
O verdadeiro alimento
Quando tentado a transformar pedras em pão, Jesus respondeu com a Escritura: a vida humana depende de toda palavra que sai da boca de Deus.
4 But he answered,"It is written, ‘One must not live on bread alone,but on every word comingout of the mouth of God.’"
3 The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread."4 Jesus answered him,"It is written,‘One must not live on bread alone,but on every word of God.’"
Jesus, o pão vivo
Jesus é o pão da vida que desceu do céu. Quem come deste pão viverá para sempre. Ele é o sustento que satisfaz a fome da alma.
35 Jesus said to them,"I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never become hungry, and the one who believes in me will never become thirsty.
48 I am the bread of life.
51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he will live forever. And the bread I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."
57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will also live because of me.58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not the kind that your ancestors ate. They died, but the one who eats this bread will live forever."
Buscar o Reino acima de tudo
Não andeis ansiosos pelo que comer ou beber. Buscai primeiro o Reino de Deus, e todas estas coisas vos serão acrescentadas.
25 "That's why I'm telling you to stop worrying about your life—what you will eat or what you will drink—or about your body—what you will wear. Life is more than food, isn't it, and the body more than clothing?
29 "So stop concerning yourselves about what you will eat or what you will drink, and stop being distressed.30 For it is the Gentiles who are concerned about all these things. Surely your Father knows that you need them!31 Instead, be concerned about hiskingdom, and these things will be provided for you as well.
31 Meanwhile, the disciples were urging him, "Rabbi, have something to eat."32 But he said to them,"I have food to eat that you know nothing about."33 So the disciples began to say to one another, "No one has brought him anything to eat, has he?"34 Jesus told them,"My food is doing the will of the one who sent me and completing his work.
