Bread of Life

John 6:57-58 - "Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. ⁵⁸ This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”

There  life in Christ. Life for the present and the future. To obtain this life we must feed on Jesus who is the bread of life. 

How can we receive this life? 

We receive it when we recognize we are sinners and that we need Christ to save us. Yet, this is only the beginning. We must daily receive Him. We must daily partake of Him. Even as it is not sufficient to eat once, but we need food daily to live. We can't live on past food. We need to eat every day to be healthy and strong.

How can we feed on Jesus?

We feed on Jesus when we daily spend time with Him in prayer and His Word. We feed on Jesus when our thoughts are continually going back to Him. We feed on Him when we listen to the voice of the Spirit. We feed on Him when we come together as believers seeking Him and worshiping Him. We feed on Him when we obey what we know that we are to do. If you hear and read the Word of God, but don't apply it to our lives, you are only playing with the food, but not consuming it.
