I am the bread of life — Jesus.

To give context to the quote, Jesus spoke to a crowd of people who the day before stuffed themselves with loaves and fishes. Jesus encouraged them not to work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life. He added, whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Go to Jesus and gain life. It’s not complicated (although Jesus might complicate your life at first). Commit to Jesus in humility and deference, and the filling will commence.

Contrary to all I hear, the bread of life does not consist of money, or possessions, or fame, or strength, or power, or followers, or pleasures, or health, or ease, or respect, or recognition, or degrees, or any of the thousand other ideas sold to me daily. Instead, the bread of life is found only in Jesus, offered freely, available openly, within my grasp.

Why not step forward and eat?
