I Am the Bread of Life

I Am | Week 1

John 6:26-27 (NIV)

Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you...

John 6:28 (NIV)

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

John 6:29 (NIV)

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

This is beyond us.

God is here - you don’t have to beg him to be present.

John 6:30-35 (NIV)

So they asked him, “What miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? Our forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat’.” “Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

“Sir,” they said, “from now on give us this bread.” Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.”

Our lives to be filled with the presence of God.

Am I actively pursuing a stronger relationship with God?

Am I listening to God speak to me about whom I am to serve in Christ’s name?

Am I willing to trade religious activities for a more whole-hearted trust in Christ?
