The True Bread of Life: What Does John 6:35 Teach Us About Spiritual Nourishment?

Jesus healed people who were sick and fed people who were hungry.

• Because of this, He had great crowds following Him, wanting His help.

  • BUT He wanted them to know who was greater than what He had to offer.

God COULD HAVE hardwired us to need absolutely NOTHING!

• But instead, He made us dependent on things like food, water, oxygen, sleep, sunlight, and HIM!

  • He designed this world INTENTIONALLY with specific needs and certain limitations

We are needy by default

• Just as food and water are essential to human life, everyday realities point us to spiritual truths

WE NEED JESUS EVEN MORE THAN WE NEED THE ESSENTIALS OF LIFE!

We can search for fulfillment in work, relationships, money, fame, etc.

• But at the end of the day, it ALL results in emptiness!

  • Let’s not follow Jesus for what He has to offer, but for who He is.

    • Let’s realize this world will NEVER satisfy, but we already have access to true nourishment.

WE CAN COME TO HIM TO BE FILLED BECAUSE HE IS THE BREAD OF LIFE!
