It is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, illustrating God's provision, care, and the responsibility of believers to care for others.<br><br><b>Physical Feeding</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, feeding is often associated with God's provision for His people. In <a href="/bsb/exodus/16.htm">Exodus 16</a>, God provides manna from heaven to feed the Israelites in the wilderness: "Then the LORD said to Moses, 'I will rain down bread from heaven for you. The people are to go out each day and gather enough for that day'" (<a href="/exodus/16-4.htm">Exodus 16:4</a>). This miraculous provision underscores God's ability to meet the physical needs of His people.<br><br>The act of feeding is also seen in the context of hospitality and community. In <a href="/bsb/genesis/18.htm">Genesis 18</a>, Abraham provides a meal for the three visitors, demonstrating the importance of hospitality: "So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, 'Quick, prepare three seahs of fine flour, knead it, and bake some bread'" (<a href="/genesis/18-6.htm">Genesis 18:6</a>).<br><br><b>Spiritual Feeding</b><br><br>The New Testament expands the concept of feeding to include spiritual nourishment. Jesus, in His teachings, often used the metaphor of feeding to describe the sustenance that comes from God's Word. In <a href="/matthew/4-4.htm">Matthew 4:4</a>, Jesus responds to Satan's temptation by quoting Deuteronomy: "But Jesus answered, 'It is written: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God'" (<a href="/matthew/4-4.htm">Matthew 4:4</a>).<br><br>Jesus Himself is described as the Bread of Life, offering spiritual sustenance to all who believe in Him. In <a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>, Jesus declares, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst" (<a href="/john/6-35.htm">John 6:35</a>). This statement emphasizes the sufficiency of Christ in satisfying the deepest spiritual needs of humanity.<br><br><b>Feeding Others</b><br><br>Believers are called to feed others, both physically and spiritually. In the parable of the sheep and the goats, Jesus highlights the importance of caring for the needy: "For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink" (<a href="/matthew/25-35.htm">Matthew 25:35</a>). This passage underscores the Christian duty to provide for those in need as an expression of faith and love.<br><br>Spiritually, believers are encouraged to feed others with the Word of God. In <a href="/john/21-15.htm">John 21:15-17</a>, Jesus instructs Peter to "feed My lambs" and "tend My sheep," signifying the responsibility of church leaders to nurture and guide the flock with sound doctrine and teaching.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The theme of feeding in the Bible is multifaceted, encompassing God's provision, the call to hospitality, and the spiritual nourishment found in Christ and His Word. It serves as a reminder of the believer's duty to care for both the physical and spiritual needs of others, reflecting the love and provision of God.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
