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

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, you want to be with Me because I fed you, not
because you understood the miraculous signs. John 6:26 NLT
Jesus feeds nearly 20,000 people, and
the next day many of them come looking for Him. Finding Jesus and the disciples
in Capernaum, the crowd wants more, but Jesus realizes their true motive. The
miracle of God witnessed the day before escapes them. The crowd seeks an
immediate and temporary fix. This self-focused approach blinds them to the real
miracle: the supernatural personhood and the lasting spiritual nourishment of
Jesus.
Jesus describes for them two kinds of
food, food for the body and food for the spirit. The necessary food requires
work and perishes, and He cautions them not to miss the real food, the lasting
food, the essential food. The necessary food our physical bodies need can never
gratify the soul like the everlasting, spiritual food which comes from God. Only
Jesus provides spiritual food that always satisfies, today and every next day.
God,
Your gifts transcend my imagination. Sometimes, I miss the miracles designed to
expand my understanding, overlook the signs of Your presence, do not grasp the
offerings You provide. Give me the living bread
that satisfies this day and every next day! “Lord, always give us this bread.” – dho
Focus
Point: Only Jesus provides spiritual food that always satisfies,
today and every next day.
