The Bread of Life

2014-03-31

“And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.” (John 6:35)

In our family Bible time, we are going through the Gospel of John. In order to live, we need to eat food and drink water, but for our spiritual life, we need something very different indeed. Jesus is our bread of life. Two chapters before, he had told the woman at the well that he had living water (John 4:10). With Jesus, when trusting in his death and his new life, we die with him, and also receive his resurrection life.

This new resurrection life requires Bread and Living Water. One taste may sustain us for eternity. But, how much more do we want than one bite and one sip!

Jesus is our life. Praise him for his sustaining hand.
