# 487 - Today's Living Word comes from: Mr 8:6 “So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them ; and they set them before the multitude.
What a great picture of God's plan for awakening souls unto salvation. Jesus takes the seven loaves, symbolic of God's dealings with men through the Bread of Life (The Word) and gives thanks. He then breaks the loaves open. What had been concealed is symbolically released.
He opens the Word of Life and gives that Word to His disciples who in turn were to set that Bread before the masses. I am reminded of the time that Jesus prayed to the Father in Mt 11:25, “I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and have revealed them to babes.”
The opening of the Bread of Life was first to the disciples (the babes) who then set it before the world. This Bread is the hidden manna spoken of in Re 2:17 “To him who overcomes I will give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knows except he who receives it.”
This Bread of Life is set before you every time the Gospel is preached, take, eat, and receive your new name as a child of God, written on a slate wiped clean of all sin.
