Bread

John 6:32-35 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." 34"Sir," they said, "from now on give us this bread." 35Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

Bread for sure is one of my favorite foods. I would say that probably my all time fav is the bread at Biaggi's, absolutely amazing. I seriously cannot get enough of it when I have the opportunity to eat. Jesus here in this passage calls Himself "The Bread of Life." While I have a great liking of bread it should pale in comparison to my love of Christ and desire to take in His Word (the Bible). According to Erwin Lutzer, "There are some things that are more important than eating; indeed, it is better to starve within the will of God, then to eat and be satisfied apart from it." To often this is the problem is that I want to live life apart from the will of God. There are times that I do not seek Christ and spend time in His Word. Once I have truely tasted of "The Bread of Life" the desire in my heart should grow to have more and more. Oh how I want my hunger for God to grow and that my appetite would never be satisfied.

Father give me a spiritual appetite for you that can never be completely filled so that I have always hungering after you.
