[God...made a lasting mark through the sacrifice of Jesus. Hebrews 13:20 MSG
During this season of reflection
and renewal, join me, and let's explore the visible evidence that identifies us
as faithful followers of Jesus. Can others see Jesus in our lives? ~ Donna Oswalt]
5th
Sunday in Lent
Jesus replied, “I am the Bread of Life. No one who comes to Me will ever be hungry again. Those who
believe in Me will never thirst. . . I am the living bread that came down out
of heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; this bread is my
flesh, offered so the world may live.” John 6:35,58 NLT
Jesus uses bread to
explain the difference between meeting the physical needs of hunger and the
spiritual needs of redemption. Our physical life requires ongoing nutrition to
survive, while our spiritual growth requires an ongoing relationship with
Jesus. The greatest difference between bread and living bread is that in Christ our souls know permanent
nourishment, everlasting sustenance.
How
does one eat living bread? Believing
that Christ’s death and resurrection brings each one new life and trusting the
Holy Spirit for guidance is the beginning. Continuing to grow in our knowledge
and faith sustains us. Sharing the Good News of Jesus, sharing the living bread with others gives an even
deeper satisfaction. Christ came down out
of heaven, and Perfect Love offered Himself so the world may live.
- Hungry? How much time do you spend feeding your soul with God’s word?
- Will you commit to spending time with God - daily?
