This compelling lesson should motivate every elect child of God to ask, "Am I growing in God or clinging to traditions because it is all I have ever known?" Am I partaking 'of the bread of life' or existing on dry meat from generations long passed? The Bread of Life is the word of God as dispensed by Christ's anointed ministry today. "It is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword," designed to cut sin and hypocrisy from our lives so that we will be "raised up at the last day."
