that a man may eat thereof, 

and not die.


JESUS is the living bread from heaven.

if any man eat of this bread,

but for to steal,

GOD gave His Son power over everything.

Ephesians 1:17-23

King James Version

17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

the Father of glory, 

may give unto you the spirit of wisdom 

and revelation in the knowledge of him:

18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; 

that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, 

and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, 

according to the working of his mighty power,

20 Which he wrought in Christ, 

when he raised him from the dead, 

and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

21 Far above all principality, 

and power, 

and might, 

and dominion, 

and every name that is named, 

not only in this world, 

but also in that which is to come:

22 And hath put all things under his feet, 

and gave him to be the head 

over all things to the church,

23 Which is his body, 

the fulness of him that filleth all in all.


If we have JESUS, we have life.

who loved me, 

and gave himself for me.


JESUS testifies of His FATHER.

and hath given us an understanding,
