John 6:35 - JESUS - The Bread of Life!
John 6:35 (KJV) And Jesus said unto them, I
am the bread of life: he that cometh to me
shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me
shall never thirst.
COMMENTARY PEARL
I'm generally cheerful and don't get
cranky very often. When I do, it's usually because
I'm hungry. I get impatient and snippy at loved
ones over the simplest things. All I know is when
my stomach is growling, I growl with it. And I
will eat just about anything that's edible. Most
of the time, I reach for potato chips. (I guess
that's why experts warn to never go food shopping
when you're hungry.)
Jesus was human, too, and knew exactly
how uncomfortable hunger could be. That's why He
felt compassion for the crowd that followed Him
into the hills to hear Him preach (Matthew
14:14). They'd been with Him all day and were hungry
- all five thousand of them! When the
disciples thought He should just send them on their
way, Jesus refused. You know the rest of the
story: He fed them all "as much as they wanted'
(John 6:11) with only two small fish and five
barley loaves given to him by a young boy in the
crowd.
Empty stomachs aren't the only things
Jesus fills in our time of need. He sees our
spiritual hunger too. When we forget to feast on God's
Word, our spirits begin to crave the "bread from
heaven" (John 6:31), nourishment that only Jesus can
provide - His healing touch, comfort, provision, or
protection. Anything else is junk food - a poor
substitute. by Carol Mackey
Faith Step: Jesus is the Bread of Life
and our Sustenance. Ask Him to fill you up daily
and you will never go hungry. [Mornings With
