The last word found in the Bible is the word, “ Amen .” It is also used in the previous verse. ( Revelation 22:20,21 ) In verse 21 it is a summation of the desire for agreement to a statement that nothing be added to or taken from the book. The final ‘ Amen ‘ is affirmation of the desire for the grace of the Lord to be with those who read it. The first occurrence of ‘ Amen ‘ in scripture is part of a test for when a husband has accused his wife of adultery but has no proof of the matter and she protests her innocence. The woman would be taken to the Tabernacle and go before the priest and he would put her under oath.

The God Who Feeds My Soul   by Max Lucado Bread is eaten daily. Some fruits are available only in season. Some drinks are made only at holidays. Not so with bread. And not so with Jesus. He should be brought to our table every day. We let him nourish our hearts, not just in certain months or on special events, but daily. Bread can meet many needs. So can Jesus. He has a word for the lonely as well as for the popular. He has help for the physically ill and the emotionally ill. If your vision is clear, he can help you. If your vision is cloudy, he can help you. Jesus can meet each need. Can you see why Jesus called himself the Bread of Life ? I can think of one other similarity. Consider how bread is made.
