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 And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, preparing their nets; and he called them.
3 And the devil said to him, if you are the Son of God, command this stone that it become bread.4 And Jesus answered to him, It is written, Man will not live by bread alone.
3 And he humbled you, and allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you did not know, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh does man live.
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: he who comes to me will not hunger, and he who believes on me will never thirst.
48 I am the bread of life.
51 I am the living bread which came down out of heaven: if any man eats of this bread, he will live forever: yes and the bread which I will give is my flesh, for the life of the world.
57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he who eats me, he also will live because of me.58 This is the bread which came down out of heaven: not as the fathers ate, and died; he 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 But love your{} enemies, and do [them] good, and lend, never despairing; and your{} reward will be great, and you{} will be sons of the Most High: for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.
29 And don't you{} seek what you{} will eat, and what you{} will drink, neither be{} of doubtful mind.30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after: but your{} Father knows that you{} have need of these things.31 Yet seek{} his kingdom, and these things will be added to you{}.
31 In the meanwhile the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.32 But he said to them, I have meat to eat that you{} do not know.33 The disciples therefore said one to another, Has any man brought him [anything] to eat?34 Jesus says to them, My meat is to do the will of him who sent me, and to accomplish his work.
17 For though the fig-tree will not flourish, Neither will fruit be in the vines; The labor of the olive will fail, And the fields will yield no food; The flock will be cut off from the fold, And there will be no herd in the stalls:18 Yet I will rejoice in Yahweh, I will joy in the God of my salvation.19 Yahweh, the Lord, is my strength; And he makes my feet like hinds' [feet] And will make me to walk on my high places. For the Chief Musician, on my stringed instruments.
