In the tabernacle, God set up 2
things within His house. One was a table with bread on it. The other was a
lampstand. God needs neither food nor lamps, but He has shaped His house to our
needs so that we can live with Him according to our frame. He has provided His
Son, bread from heaven, and so we eat bread. Jesus is also the light of the
world. He is the dawn. We need light to eat by, to be able to tell if the food
is cooked and clean. We can trust Jesus to give good light and good food both.
He not only saves, He sustains. One thing about food and light, we need both
moment by moment. Without the sun we will freeze within minutes. Without food
we will starve within days. Jesus sustains our needy souls with fresh supplies
of light and bread.
