I Am the Bread of Life
Jesus tells us "I Am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." That is worth talking about, because you and I still wake up hungry for breakfast and thirsty for a drink, even though we believe in Jesus - so what does He mean?
Jesus knows that we need to eat food, like bread, in order to grow and have a healthy body. He knows that we like food, and we think about food a lot. He knows that many of us are used to eating breakfast, lunch, dinner and even some snacks in between! He knows that food is important to our body.
When He says "I Am the Bread of Life", He wants us to know that we need Him every day, all throughout the day, if we are going to grow and have a healthy soul - our soul is who we are, and our soul lives inside our body. Jesus means that believing in Him, and talking with Him feeds our soul, and makes us grow strong inside. Whenever we hear stories from the Bible, that is like eating food for our soul. Whenever we pray and talk to Jesus, that is also like food for our soul.
Jesus promises that if you believe in Him and come to Him your soul will never be hungry or thirsty. I am glad that Jesus says "I Am the Bread of Life"!
