He is to the soul what bread is to the body — its food.

I. Bread is NECESSARY food. Other things may be dispensed with, but all need bread,

II. It is food that SUITS all — old and young, weak and strong.

III. It is the most NOURISHING kind of food: nothing does so much good or is so indispensable to bodily development.

IV. It is food that we NEED DAILY. Other foods are at best only occasionally required.

V. It is the only food we are NEVER TIRED OF; hence it is on every table, unlike every other kind of food.

(Bp. Ryle.)
