Bread of Life

I am linked up with Skip to my Lou today . Check out more great ideas there.

"And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger; and he that believes on me shall never thirst" John 6:35

So what does it mean when it refers to Jesus as the bread of life?

We all know that no physical bread can make us full for the rest of our lives and no physical drink can quench our thirst for the rest of our lives. Jesus said if we come to Him and BELIEVE in him we will get everlasting life just like eating physical bread gives us physical life.

Christ shows that he is the true Bread; he is to the soul what bread is to the body, nourishes and supports the spiritual life. The bread of life is the food that will never disappear but that leads to eternal life.



As we approach Easter, take the time to celebrate Easter with your kids, not only on Easter Sunday but this week leading up to it. Today we baked french bread(recipe on here already) and discussed Jesus as the Bread of Life then we shared the bread with 3 families who we felt needed an extra dose of kindness. (this idea came from Thriving Family magazine-Exploring Easter)
