Bread of Life

Jesus claims to be the bread of life that will always satisfy. Always satisfy? Yes! Always satisfy. This fact that Jesus will always satisfy is hard for me to swallow!  I know it to be true in my head but my actions at times tell another story.  I lack the patience in my relationship with Jesus to allow Him to satisfy me.  It is like taking a bite of food and not being instantly full!  Ridiculous - I know!   Being the insecure guy I am I loved on page 54 where Jesus pays mankind the highest compliment. We as earthly creatures can only be satisfied by heavenly food! We are the creatures who's hunger and thirst can only be met by the great I AM. So awesome! I know that to be true - only He can satisfy. Then why so often do I turn to junk food (worldly stuff) to nourish my soul? This chapter helped me close the gap on that question. I find that I am like the people - eat of the bread and then demand a sign. Eat of the bread and then challenge Jesus to perform. All the while missing out on the feast Jesus himself lays before me.....Him...anytime - anywhere!

Take eat...this is my body broken for you!

  1. Darkness and light the condition of man why must man start off every life with the darkness and then have to learn the light the light of jesus the word and what that word means to us over a life time how the light of that word Jesus's word is a light that can shine an entire life time. Light and the salt, salt and light how is that it is so easy but we make it so hard day in and day out with the way we live out lives.

    And though this world, with devils filled should threaten to undo us, We will not fear, for God hath willed his truth to triumph through us; The prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him: His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure; One little word shall fell him.

    This little word is the name "Jesus"
