Henry Ford II made the fol lowing statement which reflects the company decision on matters basic ally important to the national econ omy.

FEEDING THE FIVE THOUSAND LESSON TEXT—John 8.23-35, 56-58. MEMORY SELECTION-1 am that bread of life.—John 0:48. Bread! The cry of the hungry peoples of the world for bread has reminded us anew that it is the 1 simple and elemental things of life which are of most importance. Bread, water, light—such things man cannot do without. How signifi cant then that our Lord declared himself to be the bread of life (John 6:35), the satisfying water (John 4:14), and the light of the world (John 8:12). Our lesson does not deal with the feeding of the five thousand, but the story of that miracle of our Lord is the background for the discourse on the bread of life which is assigned for our study. It is one of the most delightfully simple, yet unfathom- 1 ably profound, portions of Scripture.! The story of how our Lord multi plied the loaves and fishes of a 1 small boy’s lunch and fed the multi-1 tude presents him as the Creator and Sustainer of all things. The j people having been fed, wanted to take Jesus and make him their. King (John 6:15), so he went over' the Sea of Galilee to Capernaum. | But he could not get away from them, for they followed him thither.' Meeting them he gave them the instruction they so much needed as he effectively contrasted the tem poral and earthly with the eternal and heavenly. I. The Bread of Earth and the Bread of Heaven (w. 25-27). They sought Jesus not that they might receive spiritual blessings, but that their stomachs might be filled (v. 26). It was not a high motive, but an understandable one. Hunger, or the fear of hunger, threatens so many of the people of this earth that one does not find it in his heart to condemn them too severely. Yet it was a low motive and one which caused them to entirely miss the greatest and most blessed provision of God for their every need. The bread of this earth, bear ing the imprint of a human maker, would soon leave them hungry again, and eventually they would die. The bread of heaven, bearing the seal of the Father (v. 27), would soon satisfy them for all eternity. Note the folly of those who labor for the reward which this world can give, but who neglect their eter nal welfare (v. 27). How foolish, too, is the Christian who spends his whole life and his talents in the pursuit of money and invests little or nothing of time or ability in the service of God! 11. The Work of Men and the Work of God (vv. 28-33). Entangled as they were in earth ly things and desires, they seemed for a moment to reach out toward the things of God. Jesus had been talking about everlasting life and the bread from heaven; they want ed to know what they could do to merit and receive it. It is quite typical of man even to this day that he thinks there must be some way that he can come through to eternal blessedness by way of his own works. We shall see how effectively Jesus dealt with that folly! The only work that man can do to meet God’s first demands and in herit eternal life is to believe in Christ (v. 29). Men want to add up works of penance, works of char ity, deeds of righteousness, char acter development, the observance of religious traditions and cere monies, the offering of prayers, and so on without end. Jesus sweeps aside all this with one brief word, saying in effect, “It is not a ques tion of do; it is a matter of believe.” Works is not the answer to any spiritual need, but faith in Christ. We must trust God and believe in the One whom he has sent; then we are ready to go out and do his will! They (yes, and we too) must now face the alternative 111. The Way of Death and the Way of Life (vv. 34, 35, 56-58). One could wish that the request made in verse 34 could be taken at face value, but the fact that they later turned away and left the Lord indicates that this was again a de-1 sire for physical bread. There was probably a vague desire for eter nal life, too, but not enough to make them follow through with appropri ate action. How much they were like folk today who want the bene fits of Christianity, but who will not take up the cross. There is here a bold contrast be tween the things of this earth, which, as we use them, perish (and, alas, we perish with them), and the things of God which are of eter nal value and power. Which shall it be, reader, for you? Are you willing to go on day after day on the way of death, or will you today take Christ, who is the way HOME JOURNAL.
