 You need this bread of life. In 1 Kings chapter 19, an angel awakened the prophet Elijah to feed him heavenly food, saying, Arise and eat, for the journey is too great for you. Jesus likewise said that if the crowd went away hungry, they would faint on the way. Well, I'm telling you today that the journey is too great for you. This world is a desolate wilderness filled with wild beasts seeking to devour you.
