Are You Hungry?: Do You Need the Living Bread?

by The Shulammite

Overview

The World Gospel Kingdom Tracts (WGKT) is categorically intended to unlock the mystery of your human life. WGKT is explicitly designed to make known the unsearchable riches of this Wonderful Christ as the mystery of the gospel of the Kingdom of God. "Are You Hungry?" book is God's sovereign way to propagate the gospel of Christ to make known the mystery of His will and His divine purpose for man.

We live in a troubled world. The world is altogether troublesome. Family life, school life, and every type of occupation—all are troublesome. Who is at peace—the president, the senators, the congressmen? No one is at peace. Regardless of who you are, you are troubled. We all have troubles.

The sea represents Satan's organized and systematized world where humanity is occupied and enveloped. In the world corrupted by Satan there is no real satisfaction; there is always hunger. Neither is there any peace, for the wind and the waves are always on the sea making trouble for man.

Christ comes into this troublesome world as the peace-giving Christ (John 6:16-21). John Chapter 6 not only portrays the hungry world, but also the troubled world. Christ is the feeding Christ to the hungry world and the peace-giving Christ to the troubled world. The world may trouble everyone, but it cannot trouble Him!

Day by day the whole world is seeking to be satisfied with many things like entertainment, amusement and pleasure which can never fill their hunger. They work year by year for the food that perishes. "Work not for the food which perishes, but for the food which abides unto eternal life," (John 6:27a). Are you hungry? Will you take in Christ as the food that abides unto eternal life?

About the Author

The Intrinsic Significance of The Shulammite

Song of Songs is a history of love in an excellent marriage, a story of the love between the wise king Solomon, the writer of this book, and the Shulammite (Song of Songs 6:13), a girl of the countryside. As such, this book is a marvelous and vivid portrait, in poetic form, of the bridal love between Christ as the Bridegroom and His lovers as His bride (John 3:29-30; Revelation 19:7) in their mutual enjoyment in the mingling of His divine attributes with the human virtues of His lovers. Song of Songs stresses not the Body of Christ corporately but the believer in Christ individually, unveiling the progressive experience of an individual believer’s loving fellowship with Christ in four stages. The correspondence between the progression in the poem and the progression in the experience of Christ’s lovers is the intrinsic revelation of the Holy Word of the omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent God. The stages of such a progression should be landmarks to us in the course of our pursuing of Christ for His and our mutual satisfaction.

The Shulammite is the feminine form of Solomon, derived from the root meaning peace. The use of this name here indicates that at this point she has become Solomon’s duplication, counterpart, the same as Solomon in life, nature, expression, and function, as Eve was to Adam (Genesis 2:20-23). This signifies that in the maturity of Christ’s life the lover of Christ becomes the reproduction of Christ, the same as He is in life, nature, expression, and function (but not in the Godhead) to match Him for their marriage (2 Corinthians 3:18; Romans 8:29).In the romance between the great king Solomon and the girl from the countryside, because the two did not match each other, the king became a “country man” in order to go to her village to court her, to gain her love. On the one hand, he made himself the same as the country girl; on the other hand, he made the country girl a queen. This is a type of the story of God’s romance with man. God as the Husband is divine, and the wife He desires to marry is human; the two do not match each other. To fulfill His heart’s desire God became a lowly man with humanity in incarnation.
