Tea Break with Ianny

 As I listened to “We are The World” on the radio recently,  I couldn’t help but pay attention to the part that goes  “… as God has shown us by turning stones to bread….”

Jesus performed many miracles when he walked on earth, including turning water to wine at a wedding (John 2), and turning 5 loaves and 2 small fish into enough food to feed five thousand (John 6), but he did not turn stones to bread.

What happened at the end of his 40-day fast in a desert was this:  Satan had tempted Jesus to fulfill his physical hunger by turning stones to bread.  Jesus’ response was that “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”  (Matthew 4).

By the way, that says a lot about the race many of us spend too much time in. There have to be more we can offer in life than putting food on the table.
