The Feeding Christ And The Peace-Giving Christ
THE FEEDING CHRIST
AND THE PEACE-GIVING CHRIST
We live in a troubled world. The world is alto gether troublesome. Family life, school life, and every type of occupation—all are troublesome. Who is at peace—the president, the senators, the congressmen? No one is at peace. Regardless of whom you are, you are troubled. We all have troubles. Do not boast that your marriage is the best. I do not believe that even one marriage is absolutely good; every marriage is at least some what poor. By God's sovereign ordination, we all must marry—there is no escape—but everyone who is married finds himself in trouble.
Christ comes into this troublesome world as the peace-giving Christ (John 6:16-21). John 6 not only portrays the hungry world, but also the troubled world. Christ is the feeding Christ to the hungry world and the peace-giving Christ to the troubled world. The world may trouble everyone, but it cannot trouble Him.
