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 and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that comes forth from the mouth of God.
3 And the devil said to Him, If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.4 But Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word of God.
3 And He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you had not known nor had your fathers known, to make you know that man does not live by bread alone; but man lives by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of Jehovah.
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 And Jesus said to them, I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me shall not ever hunger, and he who believes into Me shall never ever thirst.
48 I am the Bread of Life.
51 I am the Living Bread which came down out of Heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world.
57 As the living Father sent Me, and I live through the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live through Me.58 This is the Bread which came down out of Heaven; not as your fathers ate the manna, 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 Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
29 And do not seek what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor be agitated.30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things.31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things will be conveyed to you.
31 In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, Rabbi, eat.32 But He said to them, I have food to eat of which you do not know.33 Therefore the disciples said to one another, Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?34 Jesus said to them, My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.
17 Though the fig tree shall not blossom, and fruit is not on the vines; the work of the olive fails, and the fields yield no food; the flock is cut off from the fold, and no herd is in the stalls,18 yet I will exult in Jehovah; I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.19 Jehovah God is my strength, and He makes my feet like does feet, and He will make me to walk on my high places. To the chief singer, on Neginoth.
