Jesus healed people who were sick and fed people who were hungry. That is why great crowds followed Him.
But He wanted them to know that He was more than what He had to offer…
“Jesus answered: “I am the bread that gives life. Whoever comes to Me will never be hungry, whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty.”
John 6:35
God could have created us to need nothing, but instead He made us dependent on things like food, water, oxygen, sleep, sunlight—and on Him. He created this world on purpose, with certain needs and certain limitations.
We are needy by default.
Just as food and water are essential to human life, everyday realities point us to spiritual truths.…
We need Jesus even more than we need the things of life.
We can seek satisfaction in our work and relationships, as well as in money, fame, power, sex, achievement, and adventure. But all this leads to emptiness. All this is like chasing the wind.
So let us follow Jesus not only for what He has to offer, but also for Who He is. We need to realize that this world will never satisfy, but we already have access to real food.
We can come to Him to be satisfied because He is the bread of life.
