I Am The Bread of Life

 “Then Jesus declared, ‘I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty’” - John 6:35.

                   Jesus is our bread of life who gives life to us. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world - John 6:33. He who eats this bread will live forever - John 6:58. He is the bread of life who satisfies our soul. And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst - John 6:35.

                 Jesus who satisfied the physical hunger by feeding 5000 people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, satisfies the spiritual hunger too. Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him” - John 6:27. He is our bread from heaven and we need to eat food that lasts forever. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die - John 6:47-50.  

             Let us feed everyday upon Jesus who is the bread of life. The word of God nourishes our soul. But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God’” - Matthew 4:4. Taste and see that the Lord is good - Psalm 34:8. But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life” - John 6:58. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat - Revelation 2:17.                                                     

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are the bread of life. Give us this day our daily bread. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
