Many people have noted the stamp found on most food products which states, “Registered with the Department of Agriculture of the State of Pennsylvania.” Though it may seem irrelevant to the casual observer, the fact of having been thusly stamped is a testimony to the cleanliness and safety employed in the production of this food item.
The stamp is found on most products, even foreign ones. It simply means the company responsible for the foodstuffs has complied with the stringent requirements of the Penna. Dept. of Agr. It means the food you are about to consume was produced under the most exacting of standards. This is a comforting assurance.
But Jesus said in John 6:27, “Do not work for food that spoils but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On Him, God the Father has placed His seal of approval.” Jesus is the Bread of Life (John 6:48), and He is the required sustenance for eternal life.
Because God has sent Him, approved Him, and ordained Him as the Savior of mankind, each man who ever lives must receive Him in order to not only satisfy his appetite for spiritual food but also to sustain his spiritual life. To partake of the Bread of Life is to share in life’s only pure, abiding sustenance.
