Christians and seekers of God -
We do well not to seek "things" from God as independent blessings. But rather we should realize that all the "things" of God are Christ Himself.
Christ is a Person. But we often get sidetracked to want things of God apart from this Person. The Person - Christ, is all the positive things of God.
He did not come to teach truth apart from Himself.
Christ IS the truth.
He did not come to shed light as a thing apart from Himself.
Christ IS the light.
He said "I am the bread."
The bread of life IS Jesus Christ Himself.
Rather than pray "Lord Jesus give me this bread of life" we should praise Him - "Lord Jesus, YOU are that bread of life."
He did not say that He was the giver of the light. He said He WAS the light. Even He did not separate the resurrection from Himself. Rather He told Martha -
I will present in this thread that everything is in Christ. And Christ is everything man needs.
