The Bread of Life

Have you ever heard the saying that Jesus is the Bread of Life? Do you know what that means and how Jesus came to be called the Bread of Life? Let’s enrich our minds and learn more about Jesus.

In Matthew Chapter 14, Jesus had just fed more than five thousand people. Then, He withdrew to the mountain by Himself to pray. Jesus used the setting to teach an important truth. While we need ordinary bread to meet our physical needs, we also need the Bread of Life to sustain our spiritual life.

What is the difference between ordinary bread and the Bread of Life?

• Physical bread spoils while Bread of Life endures for eternity.
• Physical bread can be bought while Bread of Life cannot.
• Manna is bread from heaven that sustains only our physical life, while Jesus is the true Bread from Heaven that gives life to the world.

• Receive eternal life – We can have eternal life through Jesus. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. Simply believe, accept Jesus as your savior, bear your cross and follow Jesus.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

• Be raised up by Jesus on the last day  – Jesus will be with us until the end if we don’t deny him at all cost.

Matthew 19:28  And Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel

We take good care of our bodies by eating at least three meals a day. In the same way, we should also take care of our spirit. Let us pay ever more attention to our spiritual life by communing with Jesus day by day.
