What faith in Christ can be for those who expect through Him to have free and light bread? What they call faith is not faith in Him at all, as in a person, but only specious low-lying joy over a pile of miraculously found bread that could last for all this life. And at this time they are offered some kind of spiritual food that gives eternal spiritual life. But in order to want spiritual food, one must already be in the spirit. In order to thirst for eternal spiritual life, one must already have a taste for it, have its germ. Where, then, while they stand in their way, have faith in the words of the Lord? How can they, amidst secretly flaming material appetites, not feel deep disappointment when suddenly from under their eyes the desired pile of bread so suddenly disappeared?
