Satisfies hunger
For everyone for all time
Jesus, Bread of Life
Mepkin Daily Word
Speak only the truth
self-serving 'selective truth'
unsettles, enslaves
Mepkin Daily Word
There's a great diff'rence
Knowing and recognizing
Who Jesus Christ is.
Likewise, a diff'rence
Mere talking about Jesus
Talking to Jesus.
We need to do both
To be an evangelized
