We become like God by consuming him. But this pattern does not originate with us. To understand what it means to eat God — and how to do it — we must first know what it means that he eats us.

Even more elemental than light and eyes are food and mouth. Scripture teaches us that we are always consuming something, and that the first sin was a sin of consumption. In the modern day, we are especially tempted by the unearned wisdom, and unearned glory, of the tree of knowledge. But we must learn first to feed upon the tree of life.

All of life is worship, and we become what we worship; therefore, we are continually being conformed to the image of whatever it is we serve. Let us make sure that this is God, and not a black mirror.

When we fix our attention on something, we are caring for it. This is why the heart follows the eyes, and our affections are transformed by our attention. Unfortunately, we live in an age where sustained attention and deep thinking are harder than ever.

Mankind fell through an act of thankless, selfish consumption: take, eat, give. Christ gives us a redeemed pattern of thankful, sacrificial consumption in the Lord’s Supper: take, bless, give, eat. We should cultivate this liturgical pattern in everything we take hold of to consume.

Whereas we tend to think of peace as just one of many fruits of the Spirit, it is in fact central and foundational to the gospel itself. The gospel is described as the gospel of peace, and this peace is said to exceed our ability to understand it, not just experientially, but doctrinally. This is because biblical peace gathers up every blessing of God’s presence, and in fact is shorthand for heaven itself.

Man is designed to go where he looks, and to become like what he looks at. For this reason, scripture instructs us not only to fix our attention on God through prayer and reading of his word, but also to think upon whatsoever things will direct our attention upward to the true and the good and the beautiful.
