“Verily, verily, I [the Lord Jesus] say unto you, He that believeth on Me hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life” (John 6:47-48).
“As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me” (John 6:57).
Throughout man’s history in this world, bread in some form or other has been a staple of food. During World War II, one of the large cities in Russia was surrounded by the enemy, and many people were starving. One woman said, “If only I could have one piece of bread and butter, I would be happy.” She wanted some bread more than anything else.
The Lord Jesus presents Himself to us as the “bread of life.” First of all, He gives us new life in Him, but then, after we are saved, that new life needs food. Once again, the Lord Jesus is our bread on which we should feed continually. We feed on Him by reading His Word and learning more about Him. Did you read your Bible today?
