“…. A GOOD DINNER AND FEASTING …”

“Strange to see how a good dinner and feasting reconciles everybody,” says Samuel Pepys.

In Deuteronomy 8:3 we read that our food is not ony bread but also the word of God.  Our Lord Jesus Christ says the same in Matthew 4:4.

Feeding the body is important, but it is more important to feed the soul.

Where do we hear about feeding the body?

You know the answer!  But let us remember what Samuel Pepys observed, namely that “a good dinner and feasting reconciles everybody .”

 Where do we hear about feeding the soul?

You know the answer!

But let us remember that a good sermon and feasting on the word of God reconciles everybody.

One symbol used to illustrate the word of God is FOOD. The Bible nourishes us. The Bible is feeding the soul. The Bible is providing meat and drink. Here are some verses from the Bible: First Peter 2:2; Hebrews  5:12-14; First Corinthians 3:2; Romans 10:17.
