-The Bread of Life
-Exodus 16, John 6:30-51(recommended reading)

"I am the bread of life." (John 6:48)

Nearly 1,500 years before the events of John 6, God used Moses to deliver the Israelites out of Egypt. For the 40 years that followed, God fed an estimated 1 million men, women, and children as they journeyed in the desert to the Promised Land. He did this by sending bread from heaven. Having just fed a crowd of 5,000 Jesus takes the opportunity to show that 'He is the true bread from heaven'. What was only a shadowy allusion before was now perfectly revealed in Him.

The Israelites who ate the manna (bread) God gave them in the desert all died (6:46). But Jesus is the bread God gives, "who comes down from heaven" (6:33), and those who eat of it "will live forever" (6:51).

How may we receive this bread? By believing entirely in Jesus Christ. If He is the bread, how do we "eat" Him? As we set out to make everything He is and everything He taught the very "foods" we desire to live by, we show that we long to know Him as our source of life.
He is our sustenance, the daily bread we need.
