The Mystery of The Manger

The Mystery of The Manger…

It’s written in Psalm 147 that God gives to every creature ‘food’. The Hebrew word for food is lechem. Lechem means food, but it also means bread.

There’s a town in Israel called the House of Bread. The Hebrew word for house is bait. So, the house of bread would be Bait Lechem. We know it as Bethlehem. In Bethlehem was a feeding trough where animals or creatures came to receive their lechem.

It was there that The Bread of Life came down from heaven and there was laid in a feeding trough for lechem. Jesus said, “I am The Bread of Life, which comes down from heaven. He who eats of this bread will never hunger.”

Jesus truly is The Lechem of Life. He is the One for whom this world and our souls hunger for. Without Him, we’re all empty. So don’t try to fill up your life or your soul with that which is not bread.

Turn again to Him, who is The True Bread for your life, and your life will truly be filled. For God is He who gives to every creature…lechem.

For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.  John 6:33

Today, be filled with the Lechem of life and share it with others.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,
