Taste and See!
Flour. Water. Yeast. Salt.
Bread is simple stuff, but tasty and nourishing. When bread is digested, the complex carbohydrates are broken down into simple sugars, which provide the energy we need to survive and perform the day's activities.
Jesus is the Bread of Life. His body was broken and crushed for us. Through Him we can have eternal life and the power to accomplish His purposes.
What more could we ask?
"Taste and see that the Lord is good" Psalm 34:8.
