Bread from Heaven

Jesus said, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.” Again, Jesus says, “My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
The body has many needs, relying each day on the things of the world to give it nourishment, satisfaction, and fulfillment. Lasting only a short period of time, we find ourselves seeking out these same things over and over again. Although we need many things to sustain our human condition, none of these will ever bring us lasting fulfillment or joy. However, the human soul longs for something more permanent to give it lasting joy and satisfaction. This day, do you hunger and thirst for something, do you have a special desire or need? Are you looking for something that will bring you true and everlasting joy? Remember, the things of the world are passing away, their effects last but a fleeting moment. The answer for all of our needs is a heavenly one; Jesus, the Christ, Son of our loving eternal Father. The Giver of life gives to his children the bread of eternal life, his Son and our Lord, Jesus. It was He who came down from heaven to free us from our sinfulness, and it is He that will sustain us on our journey. Seek out the Lord, his love, peace, and joy, are everlasting!
