“THE BREAD OF LIFE”
Synopsis: What is the bread of life? The Israelites
thought and were taught that Moses had produced the
manna/bread… but really it came from the father.
Then Jesus explains that He is the “bread of life,” the
“living bread,” and “he who feeds on this bread will
live forever.”
WHAT IS IT?
When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other,
“What is it?” For they did not know what it was. —Exodus 16:15
“Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that
endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give
you.” Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the
works God requires?” Jesus answered, “The work of God
is this: to believe in the one he has sent.” —John 6:27-29
“I AM…”
John 3:13 (Paraphrased) “…the Son of Man.”
John 8:12 “…the light of the world.”
John 10:7 “…the gate for the sheep.”
John 10:11 “…the good shepherd.”
John 11:25 “…the resurrection and the life.”
John 14:6 “…the way and the truth and the life.”
John 15:1 “…the true vine.”
John 6:35 “…the bread of life.”
Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses
who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my
Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For
the bread of God is the bread that comes down from
heaven and gives life to the world.” “Sir,” they said,
“always give us this bread.” Then Jesus declared, “I
am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go
hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be
thirsty. —John 6:32-35
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me
draws him…” —John 6:44
“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone
hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and
eat with him, and he with me.” —Revelation 3:20
“I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If
anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This
bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the
world.” —John 6:51
“This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your
ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on
this bread will live forever.” —John 6:58
