John 6:51 (NIV)
51 I am the living bread that came down from
heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh,
which I will give for the life of the world.”
In John 6:48 we read that Jesus said, “I am the bread of
life.” Jesus had just fed 5,000 people with five loaves and two fishes. They
were all excited and thrilled over the great miracle that had occurred, [but]
Jesus was talking about something more important than social needs. Bread in
the Scriptures is a symbol of spiritual life.
Man has an inborn hunger for God. He cannot be satisfied
with anything less than God. God alone can supply the bread which satisfies the
inner longing of your soul and the hunger of your heart. . . . The Bible says
that He is the Bread of Life.
Thought for today:
What do I hunger for?
