Bread of Life
Jesus answered them, "Very truly, I
tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate
your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the
food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it
is on him that God the Father has set his seal."
Then they said to him, “What must we
do to perform the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God,
that you believe in him whom he has sent.” So they said to him, “What sign are
you going to give us then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are
you performing? Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written,
‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” Then Jesus said to them, “Very truly,
I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my
Father who 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.” They said to him,
“Sir, give us this bread always.” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life.
Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never
be thirsty.
John 6:24-35

What is important about this bread
is not its recipe,
but its meaning. It comes from
God.
