The Gospel of John 6:48-51 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” (John 6:48-51 KJV)

Pointing back to manna that the ancestors of the Jews ate in the wilderness, the Lord Jesus used the analogy of bread to convey His message to the crowds who are stalking Him for physical bread. As baked bread nourishes our physical body for a season then dies-like the manna, He who is the bread of life nourishes our spirit to live on and never dies, these passages affirm. The Lord Jesus Christ is "the bread of life." His flesh which is His Word is the bread that He will give to sustain our spirit unto eternity. As we eat off His flesh, by meditating His Words, and by believing in Him and His Words, we'll never die.

It all started, as “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1 NIV).

And the Word came down from Heaven, in the person of Christ Jesus to give life into this world. “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14 NIV).

In Him, the Word and the Bread, by faith we shall live. “For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive.” (1 Corinthians 15:22 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
