Multitudes followed after Christ wanting to be fed, and the scriptures record that He fed many. But for those who feasted on Christ’s words and His Spirit, the miracle of being filled never ceased, nor will it in our time. That same Jesus who fed thousands with two small fish and five loaves of bread waits patiently on us today. To all who ask, He gives freely, inviting us to “come and dine” (John 21:12), feeding us the fruits of eternal life.
