The Mystery of The Manger
Sunday, November 10, 2024
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. And so it was there that The Bread of Life came down from heaven and there was laid in a feeding trough for lechem. Messiah said, "I am The Bread of Life which comes down from heaven. He who eats of this bread will never hunger." Messiah 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.
