“Choose this day whom you will serve.” (Joshua 24:15)

The God of Evil vs. The Bread of Life

“Choose this day whom you will serve.”
(Joshua 24:15)



I. The False Word: The God of Evil

I do not give fulfillment.
I make hunger beautiful.

I do not love.
I stretch the ache of wanting to love
until it becomes ecstasy itself.

You will crave me—
and yet
never once feel you have had me.



II. The Living Word: Jesus Christ

“I am the bread of life.
Whoever comes to me shall not hunger,
and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”
(John 6:35)

“Greater love has no one than this:
to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
(John 15:13)

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.”
(Matthew 11:28)

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.”
(John 10:10)

The Antichrist vs. Jesus Christ
--------------------------------------------------------
I do not give fulfillment.

"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."
(John 10:10)


I make hunger beautiful.

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled." (Matthew 5:6)


I do not love.

"God is love." (1 John 4:8)


You will crave me and never once feel you have had me.

"Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst."
(John 4:14)

--------------------------------------------------------




III. Discernment

You have read two voices.

One exalts hunger and promises ecstasy through emptiness.
The other offers bread, rest, and fullness without striving.

One says you will crave forever.
The other says you will never thirst again.



“The words I have spoken to you—
they are full of the Spirit and life.”
(John 6:63)

———

This comparison is based on a fictional poetic expression of spiritual deception
(labeled here as “The Antichrist”) and the words of Jesus Christ from Scripture.

It is created to invite discernment and reflection on the difference between seductive spiritual lies and eternal truth.
All Scripture quoted is from the New Testament.
