I Am the Bread of Life | John 6:41-59

Whenever we turn on the tv or scroll social media, we see celebrities who embody the American dream, yet whose lives come crashing down. This shouldn’t surprise us, because Jesus makes it clear that the American dream, and every other path apart from him, lead only to emptiness. The Bread of Life discourse shows us our inability to provide life for ourselves and God’s victory over that inability. We can spend all our years searching for life, but only Jesus has it. Jesus says to us and to all, “Eat, drink, and live!” Take-Home Message: The Bread of Life prevails over my inability to find life. The Bread of Life overcomes my familiarity (41-46). Overcoming the danger of familiarity: Choose thankfulness over skepticism.Choose “so that” over “rather than.” The Bread of Life pays for my penalty (47-51). The Bread of Life invites me to feed freely (52-59).  What does Jesus mean by “eat his flesh and drink his blood”?A personal receiving of Christ and His WorkA personal abiding in Christ and His Work Message: I Am the Bread of Life: Part 2 Scripture: John 6:41-59 Simple.
