Bread represents food, and sustenance, and brings a physical satisfaction that makes even our very soul happy. Bread/food consists of things that we eat everyday for nutrients, energy and survival. In other words, we need food in order to stay alive. Can you imagine life without food? Can you imagine being so hungry that you would do anything to get something to eat? Well, as we know, when the body does not receive food it will eventually become malnourished and as a result organs will begin to shut down. Without the food that we need to survive, death will certainly be inevitable.
Friends, do you know that when you live a life void of the word of God, that you are living a spiritually malnourished and spiritually dead life? Partaking in (reading, obeying, living) the word of God assures that you are living a healthy, well nourished, and satisfied life. A life that will bring eternal satisfaction when physical life here is done. Friends, Life is not just about physical satisfaction and trying to gain all you can from this world. We MUST feed our spirit man (man; a spirit, that lives in a body, and possesses a soul) which is the most important part of us, with the word of God. Just like physical death is inevitable, a life not spiritually fed also brings death (separation from God).
Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.” Jesus is the bread of life. When we partake of Him, obey Him, follow Him, He gives us abundant life, eternity to spend with Him. The things of this world like food, the material things we so long for, and this earthly body are only temporary. They will all pass away. So if you want long term, or permanent satisfaction, eat of the bread of life, Jesus Christ, He is the only one who can TRULY keep you satisfied.
HE IS THE BREAD OF LIFE FOR LIFE
Peace and Love
