The Life-Bread
Scripture:
Jesus: 43 “Stop grumbling under your breaths . 44 If the Father who sent Me does not draw you, then there’s no way you can come to Me. But I will resurrect everyone who does come on the last day. 45 Among the prophets, it’s written, “Everyone will be taught of God.” So everyone who has heard and learned from the Father finds me. 46 No one has seen the Father, except the One sent from God. He has seen the Father. 47 I am telling you the truth: the one who accepts these things has eternal life. 48 I am the life-bread. 49 Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness, and they died as you know. 50 But there is another bread that comes from heaven; if you eat this bread, you will not die. 51 I am the living bread that has come down from heaven to rescue those who eat it . Anyone who eats this bread will live forever. The bread that I will give breathes life into the cosmos. This bread is My flesh.” (Luke 6:43-51 The Voice)
It must have been so hard for the disciples to grasp all that Jesus was saying to them about the life-bread! We have it so much easier today to have more understanding because we have the Bible and all of its teachings. But we still question and wonder sometimes about the meaning of some of the things that are in the Bible. We need to just keep looking, and be open to the Holy Spirit’s help in understanding. “I am telling you the truth: the one who accepts these things has eternal life.”
Father, I am so very thankful that You sent Your Son to the earth so that now I can have eternal life! Help me to continue to learn from Your truths and walk in Your ways. You are good, and I love You. AMEN
Praise the Lord, for He is good. I know the greatness of the Lord – that my Lord is greater than any other God. Praise the Lord! Psalm 135
