The Bread That Sustains
Good morning
Scripture reading: St. John 6:25-35
Worship song: Bread of Life
Meditation:
The bread that Jesus offers cannot be purchased with money, nor is it found in a bakery. No earthly combination of ingredients can produce this bread. This bread is not a product of earthly means but a divine provision symbolizing Jesus Christ himself. Addressing the multitude and his disciples, Jesus boldly identifies himself as the bread of life. He said, "I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
Jesus is the bread of life, nourishing
and sustaining us spiritually. Jesus promised that those who come to Him will
have their spiritual hunger satisfied, and their thirsty souls quenched.
"Incline your ear and come unto me," says the Lord; "hear, and
your soul shall live, and I will make an everlasting covenant with you and show
you mercy." Let us work not for the bread which perishes, but for that
bread which endures unto everlasting life, which the Son of Man shall give unto
us.
Let us pray:
Bread of Heaven sent down from glory, our souls hunger and
thirst for You, Lord God, in this dry and barren land. We hunger for the bread
that truly satisfies. To whom shall we go, Lord? You are the bread of life.
Earnestly, we seek You, Lord, with a desire to know You more. We need more of
You, Lord. Lord, You are the only source that can satisfy us completely and
fill the emptiness within us. Only You, O God, can quench this thirst within
and satisfy the deepest void of our souls. Draw us closer to You, Lord, and
establish an everlasting covenant with us. In the precious name of Jesus
Christ. Amen.
Wishing you an enjoyable day. 👏💕🙏
