The bread of life
John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Jesus invites us to partake in a spiritual feast, nourishing our souls with the sustenance only he can provide. The bread signifies more than just physical nourishment; it speaks to the deep, soul-satisfying sustenance that only a relationship with Christ can offer.
As bread is a staple, fundamental to sustaining life, Jesus presents himself as the essence of life itself. In a world often filled with hunger for meaning, purpose, and fulfillment, Jesus stands as the eternal source of satisfaction. Just as physical hunger prompts us to seek bread, our spiritual hunger should lead us to Jesus—the Bread of Life.
Jesus' promise that those who come to him will never go hungry and those who believe in him will never be thirsty signifies a completeness that the world cannot provide.
It is an assurance of a lasting fulfillment that goes beyond the temporary pleasures or achievements we may find in this life. In Christ, we discover a spiritual satisfaction that transcends the fleeting desires of our earthly existence.
Furthermore, the act of coming to Jesus and believing in him involves a deep, personal relationship. It's not merely about intellectual assent but a heart-felt trust and reliance on the Saviour.
As we partake in this communion with the Bread of Life, we find a connection that transforms our lives and satisfies the deepest longings of our souls.
Let us, therefore come to Him daily, recognizing our need for spiritual nourishment. In a world that offers various substitutes, let us choose the sustenance that endures, the Bread of Life, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May we find in him the fulfillment that our hearts truly crave. Amen.
God bless you.
