The Bread of Life - This week, as we continue on in John 6, we’ll hear Jesus tie the miracle of the feeding of the 5,000 with his own person and mission. “I am the bread of life,” Jesus claims, "and unless you feed on me, you cannot have life.” These hard words caused his adoring crowds to disappear almost overnight. Why would Jesus say such hard things? What do his words mean for you and me? Join us this Sunday as we consider what it means to feed on Christ, the bread of life. John 6:22-59.
The New Year is a great time to revisit the story of Jesus, because our hope for the future is only as secure as our grounding in the person and work of Christ for us. Even though this Gospel isn’t about us, it is for us—Jesus is the Word who is life, and that life is the light of all men. No matter what future you are staring down this New Year, I want you to have the unshakable confidence that the Word which spoke life into being holds your life in his hands and the darkness will not overcome it.
