TUESDAY-3rd
WEEK OF EASTER-A
I Reading: Acts

Gospel:
John 6:30-35: It was not Moses who gave you bread from heaven, it is my Father

The Bread of
Life: The Source of Spiritual Satisfaction
Jesus is
the source of spiritual satisfaction, of man’s spiritual nourishment. He is the
only bread that can feed man’s great hunger, the hunger that gnaws and gnaws
within his inner being. There is no other source upon which man can feed and be
nourished.
1. The
people demanded proof (v.30-31)
a. Jesus’
great claim
b. The
specific proof demanded
2. Christ
is the true Bread (v.32)
a. Man
cannot provide true bread: satisfaction
b. God
alone provides true bread: true satisfaction
3. Christ
is the Bread of God (v.33)
a. He
came from heaven
b. He
gives life
4. Christ
is the Bread of Life (v.34-35)
a. The
request for the Bread of God
b. The
phenomenal claim
c. If
man comes to Jesus, he will never hunger
d. If
man believes, he will never thirst
5. Christ
was seen but rejected (v.36)
Thought:
Christ (The Word of God) gives life to the believer by doing the five things as
bread.
1) Bread gives life by...nourishing and sustaining
2) Satisfying
3) Energizing
4) Creating desire (the need) for more
5) Being partaken on a regular basis
Man never has
enough. He craves and craves, never being fully satisfied.
