Bread of Life

John 6:24-35



Faced with opposition, Jesus states his claim for faith. Through faith persons are able to have their physical and spiritual needs met by the grace of God.


Picture the faces of those following Jesus to Capernaum, when Jesus called them out as following for wrong reasons. Jesus tells them to work for the bread that endures forever. Seeking signs of where and how to find the bread, the people had to be more amazed when Jesus announced: "I am the bread of life." (v.35)

John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist movement and primary source of Wesleyan theology, believed in Jesus Christ. Wesley grounded his faith in the Jesus being the Son of God, who died for the sins of believers.

I am a believer, are you? I am into the what of life these days. I want to know what is being done, what the plans are, and what people believe. When it comes to the faith it is easy as breathing to state what I believe. It is because I live it, and pray it daily. I have written it in creative ways, but the origin is rooted in Church history. What I believe is deep in the "Apostle Creed", the historic confession of the Christian church.

My daily bread consist of faith in Jesus Christ. Therefore, I pray the Lord's Prayer, the Apostle Creed, the prayer of David, the prayer of Jeremiah, and personal prayers each morning and through the day as I pray. It feds my soul, when I read the Bible and talk to God. I feast on the Word. Being nourished in the word I pray throughout the day. Oh yes, Jesus is the bread of life. With the bread of life I have strength for the living of these days on earth, and manna for the eternal life. Praying in the name of Jesus is better than fast food. God hears and answers in a hurry. So, yes, I believe. Do you believe?

I believe in God, I believe in Jesus Christ, and I believe in the Holy Spirit. By believing I come to enjoy the fruit of the spirit. Love, joy, and peace propel me to the best of life. Come eat the fruit with me. Come and enjoy the refreshing water. No longer being spiritually dehydrated, we sing and shout to the glory of God.

Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, fed us the spiritual food that we may believe. Amen.
