BREAD OF LIFE

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, Israel. Did you know that the Hebrew for Bethlehem is Bet Lehem meaning “House of Bread?” Roman law required all Jewish people to register for the census. Joseph was a descendant of King David, and Bethlehem was the hometown where Joseph and Mary were required to register.
Jesus, Himself, stated in John 6:50, “Here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” Jesus said His work is to give us the Word of God and eternal life in and through Him. Jesus is the spiritual bread that we must feast on to have life.
So, the Bread Of Life is HE who came down from heaven and gave men not simply satisfaction from physical hunger, but Life. Jesus is the true Bread Of Life! Jesus explained that whosoever comes to Him, receives Him, and believes Him will find his spiritual hunger satisfied IN JESUS.
Luke 22:19-20 reminds us that Jesus was eating at the “Last Supper” (Passover Seder). Jesus took bread, gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to them saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” Bread has existed for millennium from the most plain to the most exquisite! When thinking of foods with significant cultural and historical impact, bread is one of the first thoughts. However, they ALL offer limited satisfaction!
How do we taste and eat the Bread Of Life? Invite Jesus into your life. Come to Him, receive Him, believe Him, and you will find your spiritual hunger eternally satisfied. Today is your New Beginning. HE is the/your BREAD OF LIFE!
