Message 2: Jesus is the bread of life
Jesus declares “I am the bread of life” (John 6:48). When we eat this bread, we have eternal life, because His flesh is true food (John 6:54-55). When we are filled with Jesus as bread, our life changes – we live because of Him (John 6:57). The people who were fed by the Lord followed Him because their stomachs were filled (John 6:27). Jesus says that we should aim for food that doesn’t perish, implying that His true food will enable us to truly follow Him (6:27). This is fulfilled by the Spirit (John 6:63).
John 6:54-55 - "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink."
John 6:63 - "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life."
John 6:68 - "Simon Peter answered Him, 'Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.'"
