Christ in his humiliation was abased so low, as to be in subjection to the Father.
Among the many things Christ is compared to in the holy scripture, to set forth his transcendent excellency, beauty, usefulness, and perfections, this of a Fountain is none of the least, it being a most profitable metaphor.
What kind of meat are you working for? The multitude followed Jesus across the Sea of Galilee when they saw that He could feed them. They wanted to know what they needed to do in order to keep getting bread. What is your bread? Or meat? Is it to know God and to do His will?
What would our life be like if nothing existed beyond the world we see? What if all we had was under the sun? How would this change our life, our hopes, our dreams?
What are the things that are most important to you? Judge them by the vanity factor. Do they satisfy? Will they last? How does God view them?
We are so limited in our understanding by having the world in our hearts. Yet God is working all things together to the good of His own people and purposes.
