Living Bread ~ Jesus
said to them, “I am the Bread of Life; he
who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.” John
6:35
During this season of
reflections and renewal, join me in exploring the Bread of Life. When we
encounter Jesus Christ, this Living Bread feeds, satisfies, and transforms us.
Come on this journey and remember this True Bread “is broken for you”. ~ Donna

“I
am the living bread that came down our of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread,
he will live forever; and the bread also which I give for the life of the world
is My flesh.” John 6:51 NASB
Jesus repeats the promise of God’s
divine purpose. Life forever with God comes by believing in the living bread
from heaven; life forever comes through Jesus. In this verse Jesus gives a
glimpse of His crucifixion, the bread
also which I give for the life of the world is My flesh. Greater than the
wilderness manna, Jesus becomes living bread, not temporary, not finite, but
everlasting and infinite. The wilderness manna meets daily physical needs with God’s
promise of faithfulness, while Living Bread completes all spiritual needs with
God’s promise of everlasting life.
Jesus, willingly obedient to the
Father, will soon be condemned to crucifixion by false witnesses too afraid to
complete the task. Jesus, betrayed and beaten by people and politics, will be
nailed to a cross by soldiers assigned to the task. Jesus, mocked and cursed
and denied, will die for generations of people undeserving such love. Jesus, Son
of God, the living bread, is broken to bring everlasting life to a weak and
weary world.
God,
Obedience can be hard for me. Hiding in the crowd I say, “Lord, always give us this bread,” but I’m not sure I really want this
if it means standing up
to false teachings and talking against the majority. My heart weeps at my
weakness in contrast to Your willingness. Forgive me. – dho

Point: Jesus,
Son of God, the living bread, is broken to bring everlasting life to a weak and
weary world.
