I am the bread of life. (John 6:48)
We all need to eat food in order to survive. Jesus is saying that He is the true food that gives eternal life. When you eat regular food, you will become hungry again. But when you partake of the Bread of Life, you will receive eternal life and never hunger again.
You eat the Bread of Life by having faith in Jesus. Romans 10:17 says, “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.”
So, feed on the Bread of Life by filling yourself with God’s Word. Jesus is the Word. When you engage with God’s Word, you are partaking of the Bread of Life. ~ Jeff M Newman

Listen to: Lesson 59 - 1 John 2:23 Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father...
Lesson 4 -1 John 1:1...which we have gazed upon...
Welcome back to our verse-by-verse Bible study of 1 John. Last lesson we focused on how you can see Jesus with the eyes of faith by reading the eyewitness accounts of Jesus in the Bible, seeing Jesus in creation, seeing Jesus in other believers, and trusting that one day you will see Jesus face to face in Heaven.
The Lord Is Gracious and Compassionate
The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion. (Psalm 145:8)
