Enjoy the Rich Banquet Found in the Word, April 25
The anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do
not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you
concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught
you, you will abide in Him.
1 John 2:27
, NKJV.
Let us believe the Word. He who thus eats the bread of heaven is nourished
every day, and will know what these words mean, “Need not that any man teach
you” (
1 John 2:27
). We have lessons pure from the lips of Him who owns us, who
has bought us with the price of His own blood.
The precious Word of God is a solid foundation upon which to build. When
people come to you with their supposed suppositions, tell them that the Great
Teacher has left you His Word, which is of incalculable value, that He has sent a
Comforter in His own name, even the Holy Ghost. “He shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” “I am
the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he
shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for
the life of the world.”
Here is presented before us a rich banquet, of which all who believe in Christ as
a personal Savior may eat. He is the tree of life to all who continue to feed on Him.
I am instructed to ask those who profess to receive Christ as their personal
Savior, Why do you pass by the words of the Great Teacher, and send your letters
to human beings for words of comfort? Why do you rely upon human help when
you have the large, full, grand promises, “He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my
blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.... This is that bread which came down from
heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread
shall live for ever”? They may die, yet the life of Christ in them is eternal, and they
will be raised up at the last day. “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth
nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” ...
I am instructed by the Word of God that His promises are for me and for every
child of God. The banquet is spread before us; we are invited to eat the Word
of God, which will strengthen spiritual muscle and sinew.—
