I am the bread which came down from heaven. —John 6:41
Bible in a year:
Hosea 12-14; Revelation 4
Money is tight when you’re a college student. So when free food is
available, students will show up anytime, anywhere. If a company wants to
recruit new employees, it will entice young people on college campuses to
come to a presentation by offering free pizza. Some students attend
presentation after presentation—just for the pizza. The food in the present
seems to be more important than the job for the future.
Jesus fed a crowd of 5,000, and the next day many searched for Him (John 6:
10-11,24-25). He challenged them: “You seek Me, not because you saw the
signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled” (v.26). It seems
that the food was more important to some of the people than the everlasting
life Jesus offered in Himself. He told them He was “the bread of God . . .
who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world” (v.33). Some didn’
t believe, wouldn’t accept His teaching, and “walked with Him no more” (v
.66). They had wanted the food, but they didn’t want Him and what would be
required of them to follow Him.
Jesus calls us today to come to Him—not for the blessings from His hand but
to receive the eternal life He offers and to follow Him, “the bread of God
.”
