Revelation 2:17: He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches; To him that overcomes will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows except he that receives it
Jesus and His Word
God fed the Israelites with manna during their wilderness travels. Instead of eating “things sacrificed to idols,” the believers in Pergamos needed to feast on God’s holy food, the bread of life found in Jesus Christ through the Word. In those days, a white stone was put into a vessel by a judge to vote acquittal for a person on trial. The believer in a spiritual sense: has been declared righteous through faith in Christ. 1
Jesus and His Ways
- Jesus, may my spiritual appetite for Your word increase daily, for I know You have a word for me to receive and to believe and to obey. – But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” Matthew 4:4
- Jesus, may my spiritual appetite be satisfied, when the Spirit of God, takes the Word of God, and transforms my mind, my heart, and my will. – “For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” John 6:32-33
- Jesus, thank You for Your word that brings salvation, correction, encouragement, and then proclaims me to be overcomer in Christ for all eternity. – “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow.” Hebrews 4:12
