The Name of God - Bread of Life

Bread of Life John 6:35 Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

Ordinary bread is a substance that has been formed by life. Life is in the seed we get from the harvest. Life is in the wheat by which human beings may be fed and sustained. Life can only be sustained by that which has been produced by life. If this is true of our physical life, it is likewise true of our spiritual life which can only be derived from One who has such life in perfection. Christ has “life in himself” and possesses the ability to impart this life to others.

Yes, Lord Jesus, you and you alone are able to satisfy the longing of human hearts because you are the Bread of Life. It was by your death for sinners that you became the Bread of Life to sinners. As the living Bread, you are the living God and those partake such Bread will live forever.
