The Bread of Life

 ”So the priest gave him hallowed bread: for there was no bread there but the shewbread, that was taken from before the LORD, to put hot bread in the day when it was taken away.“

‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭21‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

So the priest gave David and his men, the holy bread. It was the only bread he had, bread of the Presence that had been removed from God’s Presence and replaced by fresh bread at the same time.  Yahweh had shown about the Holy Place, where there was the table of the bread of His Presence, the lampstand and the altar of incense.  Only the priest ministered in the Holy Place at set times.  The hallowed bread signified the Bread of Life, only to be partaken of by the priests on duty there in the old covenant.  This was prophetic of Jesus in the new covenant, Who said that He is the Bread of Life.  The priest, Ahimelech gave the holy bread to David and his men.  Jesus said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the True Bread from heaven. For the Bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”  Jesus came to give the whole world His Life and when we believe in Jesus, we partake of the Bread of Life.  Amen!
