life unto the world:  I am the bread of life; he that cometh unto me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.  I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever.  And the bread which I shall give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.  Jesus said unto them, Except ye eat the flesh, and drink the blood of the Son of man, ye have no life in you:  whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.  As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.’  The Father giveth this bread, the Son giveth this bread; whosoever will, may take of this bread, and the promise with it.  Father, I take this bread, I take and believe that I have in thee eternal life, according to thy word.  O holy and blessed Comforter, Spirit of the Father and of the Son, whose office it is to take of the things of Christ and show them unto his redeemed, when the bread and the water that perish can no longer refresh this dying body, apply this living bread and living water to my soul, that life may spring up in the midst of death; and in that trying hour, bear witness with my spirit that I dwell in Christ, and Christ in me, and that I shall never die.

“’In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.  He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.  This spake he of the Spirit, that they who believe on him should receive.’  John 7:37.  This he proclaimed to a mixed multitude of sinners like myself.  Lord, I believe, and am sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.  Be it unto me according to thy word:  ’I am the resurrection and the life:  he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me, shall never die.  Believest thou this?’ John 11:25.  I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God, which should come into the world; the promised Messiah; the gift of the Father, the covenant given to the people; the anointed Prophet and King, and consecrated High-priest; who through the eternal Spirit offeredst thyself without spot unto God; who came to do that most perfect will of God, by which we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Christ once for all.  Lamb of God, which takest away the sins of the world, on thee I lay my precious never-dying soul; wash me in thy blood, clothe me in thy righteousness; sanctify me, soul, spirit, and body, to thy service.  I have no other foundation of hope, nothing within me, nothing without me; my entire dependence is on thy finished work; into thy hands I commit my spirit.
