BREAD OF LIFE.
JOHN 6: 22 - 40.
GOLDEN VERSE: "Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty" -John 6:35.
Bread is associated with life, health, nourishment, and prosperity, we have seen that bread goes back in time as far as the very Garden of Eden itself.
It is common to the richest and poorest alike. It transcends cultures and nations.
As a staple food it often symbolizes all that we need on a daily basis to have and in keeping the physical body alive, it therefore becomes a daily need that every man (spiritual or carnal) seek after irrespective of their status.
Jesus fed 5000 men with Sloaves of bread and 2fish with 12 baskets of left over (Jn 6: 10-13).
The crowds followed Jesus not because of His words or His miracles but because they were freely fed to their fill.
The natural man cares only about the temporal, not the eternal; cares about a full belly, not a clean heart.
Later in His ministry Jesus told the people He was the bread of life and He only gives life.
John 6:35-36 And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. NKJV
Jesus is the heavenly bread that every man needs for eternal life.
We are to seek to have and eat this bread, which is spiritual to satisfy our spirit and soul.
You can daily eat this bread in the word of God, as you read, study and meditate on God's word.
Some christian would feed their physical bodies 3 hot delicious meal daily and feed their spirit and soul one cold meal meal once a week and expect to stay healthy.
When Jesus told the hungry crowds that He is the Bread of Life, He was teaching His followers that in Him alone was their true source of spiritual life, both in this present world and in the everlasting life to come.
The Bread of Life that Jesus represents never perishes, spoils, or runs out. Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life.
You either have His life or you do not.
You must learn to feed on Him and His word at least 2times daily, morning and evening if you want to have good success and prosper (Josh 1: 8).
When you come into unity with the Lord and experience His grace you become filled and have more than enough to Bread for sustenance and to excel.
Do not pursue the physical bread only, but seek God first and He has promised to take care of your daily needs, food, clothing, shelter, education, family, ministry, etc.
Matt 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. NKJV
There is labour that is for food/ bread only, and there is a labour that is to believe and have the life of Christ, Jesus the bread of life.
John 6:27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him." NKJV
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, I seek you wholeheartedly to receive the bread of Life that never perishes in Jesus Christ Name. Amen.
