John 6:35
“I AM the BREAD of LIFE; he who comes to Me will not hunger…”
In this gluten-free, carb-counting, paleo diet age, it’s easy to miss Jesus’ Point when He said I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE.
In today’s culture, bread is the Staff of Life, the most basic form of food.
(When God sent a famine, he “broke the staff of life”)
Jesus is saying:
- I am the foundation of life.
- Without me, you will starve to death spiritually.
- I am where every day starts, and what gives you the strength to live.
I get that in my head, but I’m still prone to “fad diets” where I try to live w/o him or substitute in some anemic substitute for the real thing.
