Christ has promised to be with us through all of the experiences of life, no matter how difficult they may be. As we accept him as "the Bread of Life," he will give us the inner direction and peace which we need to face the future unafraid. Furthermore, he will guide us even unto eternal life.
Evidence of this is seen in the life of David Livingstone. This great missionany returned to England after serving in Africa for 16 years. His old school invited him back, and he made an address before the students. As they looked at the speaker's platform, they saw a man with a face worn and thin, a man whose arm has been disabled from the bite of a lion, and a man who had been afflicted with fever.
Included in the address that day were these words of the great missionary: "Do you know what sustained me during those 16 years of exile in Africa? The passage that helped me most was, 'Lo, I will be with you always, even unto the end of the world.' " He could say this because "the Bread of Life" of Christ was his constant guide and companion.
