Jesus, the bread of life.

Jesus, the bread of life!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

John 6:35
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.

Every human hungers and thirsts for God because we came out of God. This gap can only be satisfied by God. That's why people all around the world are involved in some or the other religious practice to satisfy this spiritual vacuum.

Some people try worldly things to satisfy the spiritual hunger. This hunger and thirst cannot be satisfied by the world, only in Jesus we find satisfaction because He is the bread of life. He said, whoever comes to me will never hunger and whoever believes in me will never thirst. Jesus satisfies you! He is more than enough for us! Glory to God. You and I, we were created by Him, through Him and for Him. So unless we come to Him, this gap remains empty and the hunger and thirst continues. Without Jesus, there is always something missing. With Jesus, there is nothing missing. He is the bread of life. As you feed on Him by spending time in His word and in fellowship with Him, His life flows into you and into every arena of your life. He gives you strength and sustains you. He gives you energy to do what He has called you to do effectively. With Jesus, you know that you have all that you need. You have a sense of contentment because in Jesus you have found fulfillment. You no more want the things of the world or the practices of the world to be and to feel satisfied because in Jesus you are at peace, you are content and fulfilled.

Friend, Jesus is the bread of life. He gave up His life on the cross to give you the life of God. When you receive Him, you receive eternal life, the life of God. In Him, your hunger is satisfied and your thirst is quenched and you only desire to do what He says and fulfill His work. Feed on the bread of life and distribute the life of God everywhere you go. You are a life giver in Christ because you are connected to the Source of life, Jesus Christ.
