”Bread of Life”
Scripture: John 6:35 “And Jesus said to them, ‘I am the Bread of Life’”
John 6:41 “….I am the Bread which came down from Heaven.”
John 6:48 “I am the Bread of Life”
In Exodus 3:14 God reveals His covenant name to Moses “I AM WHO I AM”. Jesus makes the pronouncement “I AM the Bread of Life” three times in John 6.
He IS the “real” Heavenly Bread, the true life sustaining power; anything else, regardless of it’s religious significance in past or present is an inadequate substitute. The Gospel of John is uniquely structure around seven “I AM”sayings. Most of these sayings are linked to a miracle that brings further revelation of that truth through the manifestation of the Spirit. We are to know Jesus in Spirit and in Truth.
To walk in faith we must know the truth of who Jesus is and experience by the spirit the reality of that truth. It is vital that our faith be more than just head knowledge, but that our hearts and lives are affected by that truth.
In closing, feed on Jesus, the Bread of Life. Do this practically through regularly celebrating communion and reading/studying the Word of God.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and if profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.” “That the Man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
Be Blessed,
