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

He set His face to go to Jerusalem,
the Gospel says, and it was a journey from which [Jesus] seems to have known
that He would both never return and return always, even unto the end of time
and beyond. Frederick Buechner
In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All
things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being.
In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the
darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it. John 1: 1-5 NASB
Scripture
describes the divine nature, the Deity of Christ in many places with one of the
most familiar found in John. Christ has always been, even before the beginning
of the universe. Paul preaching to the Colossians describes Christ like this, “For in [Christ] all the fullness of Deity dwells
in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete.” (Colossians
9:9-10) Taking human form
but never ceasing to be divine, Christ becomes a tangible and visible
expression of God. There can be no substitute. Christ’s authority defeats Satan
and overcomes sin, and His righteousness gives us new life, completes us. While
one cannot fully understand the eternity and divinity of Christ, His
willingness to physically come for humanity overwhelms the soul.
Lord,
Your name is above all names: Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace; You are King of kings and Lord of lords, Lamb of God
and Light of the World. From carpenter to Chosen One, my heart beats for such
divine goodness. Christ, Faithful and True, calls me, holds me, loves me! This
is my resurrection song, this is my Hallelujah come! “Lord, always give us this bread”. – dho
