I love to bake. Ask the neighbors, or the man who mows our lawn, or the pest service guy who sprays the yard, or my hubby. (I bake for them regularly.)  I have a few recipes that are quick, easy and delicious, so I can whip them up quickly when needed.  One of those is beer bread.  Yummy! The kitchen smells wonderful during the baking cycle. Don’t laugh, but I often think of the verse, John 6:35-38 “Jesus said, ‘I am the Bread of Life. The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever. I have told you this explicitly because even though you have seen me in action, you don’t really believe me. Every person the Father gives me eventually comes running to me. And once that person is with me, I hold on and don’t let go. I came down from heaven not to follow my own agenda but to accomplish the will of the One who sent me.’ “

We have learned bread is quite sustaining. When consumed it is filling and has fiber, vitamins, protein, folic acid, etc. Jesus gave us an example we could grasp and apply to ourselves. HE is the bread of life. We know if we learn more about Him, delving into His Words, trusting in His message, we will not hunger.  We are loved unconditionally and can understand the comparison He makes between the substance of bread and its fullness and giving ourselves to Him. He will fill us with His love, trim the crust of our rebellious nature, coat us with mercy and forgiveness, and dust the crumbs of sin from our hearts.

Fill yourself with Jesus.  The BREAD of LIFE!
