Man's Spiritual Food
Studies for the pulpit
Matthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.


I. Man has a spiritual as well as a corporeal nature — a spiritual nature which requires food.

II. The Word of God is the true food of the soul of man. It is spiritual food adapted to man's spiritual nature, and also to its condition as guilty and impure.
