“Real” is the word it seems to me that is sticking out in the Table of Contents.
Are we longing for things that are real? Are we longing for things that are true? I think we are!
I am looking at the Table of Contents in one of the magazines you can find on coffee tables in homes and other places. It says there that you can read about “real food” and “more real life”.
I like to read everything I can find about “real food” and “real life”.
And this is what I find written about about “real food”:
“For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink.”
And this about “real life,” true life:
This is written to those who are rich.
“In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of that is truly life.”
“Eating this flesh and and drinking this blood means believing in Christ.” (Matthew Henry and Thomas Scott Concise Commentary on the Whole Bible.)
And in John 3:36 we read, “Whoever believes in the Son, has eternal life, …”
If you are longing for things that are real, that are true, read THE BOOK OF BOOKS, the BIBLE!
Many years ago we had a group of Christian Musicians called “GET REAL”. (United Maori Mission in Kaikohe.)
