“Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.”
Isaiah 7:15 KJV
Isaiah prophesied that Immanuel will eat curdled milk and honey, and He will know enough to refuse the evil and choose the good. This coming Son will be One Who has the Kingdom promises as His diet. Milk and honey represent the promised land, where God fulfils all of His promises. Jesus is the only One Who has fulfilled the Father’s desires. Feeding on the promises enabled Him to choose the right. He resisted temptation by means of the Word of God dwelling in Him. Strength to reject evil comes from feeding on truth. Bread alone will not satisfy, but true life is found in every word that constantly goes forth from God’s mouth. Jesus is the Truth and His Word is Truth which sanctifies us. Thank You for the Word that proceeds from You, Father!
