They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst." (John 6:34-35)
I have to confess I am borrowing a lot of today's post of today's reading on the She Reads Truth website.
And the point I take from it is this -we can be thankful we have the Bread of Life that last forever and is all we need.
Andrea Lucado points out that just like the crowd in the Bible, we demand 'bread' from Jesus - temporary things that we think will satisfy us. To them, it's food. To us it's money, a job, relationships, possessions...
And we never stop to think that we're asking this from Jesus. Jesus. Who provides all our needs. Who loves us more than any other. Who died so we could live.
Earthly bread goes stale and mouldy. Our 'bread', our idols...they're spent. Lost. Ended. Broken. We get fired. Let down. Hurt. Disappointed.
Jesus will never do that. He will never die. He will never break His word. He will never, ever stop loving us.
Put all your needs and cares in His hands.
And be thankful that you have the most precious gift in the world - the Bread of Life!
