Previous Teaching:  The Bread


1)  Not by Bread Alone

Matthew 4:1-4:  Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.  After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.  The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."  Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"

John 6:31-32:  Our forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'  Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven."
