JESUS CHRIST IS THE TRUE BREAD OF LIFE

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 John 6:35-37

And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.”

Additional Verses

📖 Genesis 22:1-19; John 6:22-71; Luke 5:1-11

Many people today come to Church seeking after material blessings which will perish with this world rather than seeking after Jesus Christ who is the only true bread of life. After Jesus Christ fed the five thousand hungry souls in John 6:1-14, the same crowd kept on following Him wherever He went, not that they believed in Him, but because they wanted more bread. In John 6:26-27, Jesus Christ rebuked the same crowd saying, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.” Many people today are believing in the miracles and breakthroughs they receive, rather than believing in Jesus Christ Himself who gives the blessings and eternal life. After Jesus Christ told the same crowd which He had fed with the five loaves of bread and two fish that He was the true bread from heaven and also that His blood was the true drink, they all deserted Him. Jesus Christ was only left with His twelve disciples. Let me tell you that if you receive a miracle or other blessing today and you don’t connect yourself permanently to Jesus Christ, you do not have eternal life in you at all. A time will come when that material blessing will expire and your life will become so empty. Many people today are coming to the true ministries of God seeking after healing and deliverance or employment breakthroughs and even business and financial breakthroughs rather than seeking after the salvation of their souls first. Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Once they receive these blessings, you will never see them again. Anything that goes between you and God certainly becomes your god and this is idolatry. The healing or any other blessing you receive, if it does not draw you closer to God, it becomes your idol. When Simon Peter in Luke 5:1-11 received his miracle of a big catch of fish, he and his companions immediately abandoned everything and followed Jesus Christ the bread of life. Their miracle became their means of recognizing the Messiah whom all Israel had been waiting for, for many years. Today I am therefore saying to you, you may be sick or poor, all those situations and circumstances are meant to help you to discover Jesus Christ the bread of life who does not only heal or bless, but also gives you eternal life. Alleluia!

Prayer

Thank You LORD Jesus Christ for revealing to me that You are the only true bread of life and also that I should not come to You seeking after material things for they will soon perish with this world. May You therefore fill me with the hunger and thirst for Your Word, LORD Jesus Christ, for in You is eternal life. In Jesus Christ’s mighty name I pray. Amen.
