"Jesus is not only light but also food"

Posted by Scott Brown on November 21, 2009

When speaking of the beauty of the name of Jesus, Calvin quotes a statement from Bernard, "The name of Jesus is not only light but also food; it is also oil, without which all food of the soul is dry; it is salt, without whose seasoning whatever I set before us is insipid; finally, it is honey in the mouth, melody in the ear, rejoicing in the heart, and at the same time medicine. Every discourse in which his name is not spoken is without savor." --Institutes of the Christian Religion, Book 2, Chapter 16, Section 1.
