The Bread That Gives Life

For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. (Jn 6:33)

Jesus is the true bread from heaven that gives life to the world. Just like bread nourishes our bodies and sustains life, Jesus nourishes our spirits and sustains spiritual life. The life we received from him is eternal life. Although salvation was accomplished once for all time, there is an ongoing quality to eternal life, and also to the giving of it. He continually gives and we continually receive as we feast on the true bread of life.
