Deuteronomy 8:3 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

Reader! search and see whether these marks are in your experience. Are you indeed humbled under a sense of your own need and JESUS' fullness? Hath the LORD caused you to hunger spiritually (for this is the sweet sense of the passage interpreted upon gospel terms) and hath a gracious GOD indeed fed you with that blessed food which neither you, nor your fathers after the flesh, nor any of the sons of Adam, ever knew naturally; even JESUS the living bread, which, as he himself hath explained it, is the real manna which our FATHER, and not Moses, gave his people in the wilderness? And have you been sensibly and fully brought to this conclusion, that the life of the soul is JESUS? See John 6:32.

Deuteronomy 8:3

3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
