“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 referred to as a staple of life. It has the basic elements to sustain someone should it be all they have to eat. Jesus refers to himself as the bread of life. We could take that to mean, and rightly so, that He is our sustenance, for without Him there is no life. If a person comes to Him hungry for truth and righteousness they shall go away satisfied.
It’s important that we understand exactly who Jesus was and is. He has the distinction of being wholly God and wholly man. He came to earth to be born of a virgin, hand picked by the Father. Jesus lived and died by design; there was a purpose to God’s plan. Part of that plan was to save us from ourselves. Another part was to give us life more abundantly (John 10:10).
For those of us who have embraced faith in God and trust in Him to provide for and sustain us, life is ours. Do we truly grasp the importance of this life we’ve been given? Live it for others, knowing that God will take care of you. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
