Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

When Jesus called His Twelve and ordained them, He called them to a solemn privilege:
they were to take “bread” from His hands and fan out through the crowd of hungry
people and feed them. The bread was never their own; they had never baked it. It was
always second-hand bread. They were only the passers-on of bread that had been miraculously
multiplied by Jesus.

The same Savior has called you to be His servant to pass on “bread” to some hungry
person. This is what it means to follow Jesus. You are never an originator of saving
truth, you are never a smart theologian.  The less smart it is obvious that you are
of yourself, the more the Lord can be honored by your ministry. The people need to
know that the “bread” you are passing on is not yours, but His. “Bread” is Good News
that nourishes a famished soul.

When Jesus fed the 5000 in John 6:9-13, apparently He Himself didn’t serve anyone;
“He distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to” the people. No angel was
permitted to touch that bread, as the one who fed Elijah in the desert--this job is s
pecial now for the Twelve. They are to be intermediaries between the Savior and the
people. Their job is fun! The people smile at them and thank them profusely for what
they don’t deserve thanks for. (They must remember that and never take an ounce of
credit for themselves.)

And do you suppose the Twelve sneaked a bite themselves now and then, to taste if it
was good? (there was always plenty, and they were hungry too). Their first-hand
testimony, “It’s delicious!” was also fun to give.

Our “bread” to share today is “the everlasting gospel” (Rev. 14:6, 7).
