Its really quite beautiful. He couldn't be led by dependence on this world's bread, because he was full, having the father's word to sustain him. even as his body was broken he thanked the father that we could be dependent on his word in the same way, to even greater measure. Likewise he emptied himself of satisfaction with this world's pleasure, delighting instead in communion, oneness with the Spirit of God, pouring out his blood, his life, that he might pour into us His life, His very Spirit! That refusing to be drunken with the spirit of this age which leaves us so very thirsty, we could know the great satisfaction of becoming one with the living waters!
This is my testimony of Jesus Christ, I extend it to you. He was broken for you, and confidence in his sustenance of your every moment is already yours if you'll have it. Be filled with his truth and never lack any good thing. His blood spilled to give you life, the deep pleasure of experiencing his compassionate heart and delight in you. Receive his Spirit now, drink deeply, and never be conquered by another false hope.
