Reading:
Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I
am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the
wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down
from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread
which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for
ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the
life of the world.
Commentary:
We all know that though we presently have life, we
will all die someday (except the Lord come first). We all die because we are sinful and evil
people who have broken God's commandments and God explains, "the wages of
sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ the
Lord." Since He made atonement for
our sins on the cross, Jesus is called the Bread of Life. Those who hunger to be forgiven, those who
desire God's mercy and grace, receive such through Jesus Christ the Lord. To eat this Bread of Life, is to believe in
Him with our heart, by faith, that He is the very Son of God, who gave His life
a ransom in exchange for the world.
Those who believe in Him truly have everlasting life, and when death
comes, such cross Jordan into the Promised Land of heaven.
