“I Am The Bread Of Life”

Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

“Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

John 6:32-40

God has a constant yearning to draw each of us closer. He always knows where each of us is.

Following the feeding of five thousand, the disciples asked Jesus to always give them “the bread…that gives life to the world.” Whoever comes to Jesus will never go hungry, and whoever believes in Him will never be thirsty.

It is amazing that a relationship with Jesus can provide constant nourishment in our everyday lives!

Jesus alone offers the only bread that truly satisfies.
