The Bread of life. ( John 6 v 25ff)

 I was a visiting a friend and he told how a friend give him a loaf of bread he had made,he described the bread as being the most loveliest bread he ever tasted.He went on to say if he had that bread regular, he would live to a 150.His wife was present and I don't think she wanted that to happen,we all laughed  at the idea.  Bread has been called the staff of life,in other words it is very important to many people to sustain life. When Jesus performed the miracle of feeding over 5000 people with bread and a few fish,they  flocked after Him,seeing him as the local food bank. He explained to them a greater truth,a spiritual truth,He reminded them  how God fed their ancestors with manna in the wilderness yet they died.Then He goes  on to say that He was the true bread of life that has come from heaven,and if they accepted Him into their lives by faith they will live not for a 150 years but for ever. We who have have taken Him who is the bread of life into our lives are very privileged,but with privilege comes responsibility,In Matthews account of this miracle (14 v 13ff) Jesus said to the disciples as to the feeding of the multitudes,'you give them something to eat',untold millions have never heard the gospel,we need to reach them and feed them the Bread of life, Jesus.
