"O taste and see that the Lord is good!"
.
Bethlehem means
literally, "House of Bread" -- an appropriate place for God to ordain
to cradle the Bread of Life that came down from heaven. The manna which fell in
the wilderness only briefly satisfied; it couldn't be stored or kept to meet
tomorrow's need. But when we partake of Jesus, we can be continually filled,
saved, and satisfied for all eternity. Our clothes may wear out, our money may
run out and our hair may fall out -- but Christ, the "True Bethlehem,"
the "True Manna," gives us everlasting life.

“For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven
and gives life to the world.” - John 6:33
To know the name of something was to rule
it; they believed the essence of the person or thing was in its name.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem, as foretold by
Micah over 450 years earlier (Micah 5:2).
The manna which fell in the wilderness only
briefly satisfied; it couldn't be stored or kept to meet tomorrow's need.
But when we partake of Jesus, we can be
continually filled, saved, and satisfied for all eternity.
Our clothes may wear out, our money may run
out and our hair may fall out -- but Christ, the "True Bethlehem,"
the "True Manna," gives us everlasting life.
"O taste and see that the Lord is good!" (Psalm 34:8).
Lord, I have tasted and known that You are good.
You are the true bread that came down from heaven.
I will feed on Your word all the days of my life.
Amen.
