The Bread of Life

Ashwin Ramani
July 20, 2014

#[John 6:35; John 6:26; Deuteronomy 8; Jeremiah 2:13]# Ashwin discusses Jesus' statement "I am the bread of life," emphasizing that spiritual hunger for love, meaning, and purpose cannot be satisfied by material possessions. He uses the story of Oliver Twist and the Israelites' grumbling for food after being freed from slavery as examples of humanity's insatiable desire for "more," contrasting it with the true satisfaction found in Jesus. Ashwin explains that the miracle of manna served as a sign for the Israelites to know God, but they were never satisfied with this provision. Jesus, the true bread, offers a relationship with God that nourishes and satisfies, providing internal resources of joy, peace, and security. True contentment comes from realizing that Jesus is all we need and is a vital living force. He concludes by stating that Jesus was broken on the cross so we can be healed, and all who look to the son and believes in him will have eternal life.
