Not by Bread Alone

Gospel Template

Today's Verse

"But he answered, 'It is written, One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" Matthew 4:4

This verse contains Jesus' response to Satan's first temptation to Him in the wilderness. Satan wanted Him to turn the stones to bread in order to survive the hunger. But Jesus responded by using the scriptures. "Not by bread alone but by every word from the mouth of God." This means that God's word is essential for daily living just like the bread. The bread represents our daily needs which are essential for sustenance and survival. Without the word of God, men will not survive especially when it comes to the salvation of their souls. It is in God's word that we can find divine and powerful providence for mankind to survive and be saved from sin. So let us spend more time to meditate and study God's word. - Commentary by Jeremy B. Trio

Today's Prayer

Lord, one of Your greatest provisions for mankind is the Bible which contains Your word. Thank You for giving us Your word. Help me to develop my interest and to spend more quality time studying it, and then applying the principles in my life. Amen.
