My Source, My Satisfaction, My Sustainer, My Security
Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst....All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out." -John 6:35,37
We know fulfillment in the love of Christ and our choice to trust in Him. In this passage, Jesus implied that our fulfillment in Him is inexhaustible.
The beauty of these verses stems from the simple statement Jesus made about Himself and the fourfold promise that we can trust in now and later.
In the very familiar Psalm 23, we learn that the Lord is our Shepherd who keeps us from wanting. In one of His defining statements, Jesus called Himself the Beard of Life, effectively claiming that He is the Source, Satisfaction, Sustainer, and Security of all life. In other words, He is the fulfillment of all our wants.
As our Source, Jesus promised we will never be hungry and that He will always meet our needs according to His riches. As our Satisfaction, He promised we will never thirst for anything that cannot be quenched in Him. As our Sustainer, He promised His very presence with us always. And as our Security, He promised He will never leave us nor forsake us. This is eternal security (1 John 5:13). Today let's trust the One we love to be everything we need.
Prayer : Lord, today I take You at Your word. May I find all that I need in You this day and evermore. Thank You for Your faithfulness! Amen.
