A Living Bread Ideas series
The Things That Cannot Love You Back
The Things That Cannot Love You Back. This is one thread of Living Bread Ideas: a set of essays that take a piece of ordinary modern life, ask who told us it had to be this way, and set it beside Jesus Christ. Not to call the world evil, but to ask what has been quietly behaving like a lord.
“And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;”
Colossians 3:23Your Job Cannot Love You BackYour work can hold you the way people are meant to.Your Money Cannot Love You BackEnough wealth will keep you company.Your Followers Cannot Love You BackAn audience is a kind of family.Your Nation Cannot Love You BackYour country will finally belong to you if you serve it enough.

The One all of this points to
Every essay in this series circles the same center. Your life belongs to God, and in Him it is finally free. His name is Jesus, the Bread of Life.
Come and seeJesus Christ is Lord.
