"The bread of life"

Ann Kenrick

There are few things more compelling than the aroma of freshly baked bread. Often a line forms outside the bakery even before the door is opened!

One day when people gathered to see and hear Christ Jesus teach, he began to tell them of a very different kind of bread. He contrasted the "manna" that sustained the children of Israel in the wilderness with the bread that would give them everlasting life. He said: "I am the bread of life .... I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever."

Then he took them a step further by explaining that to have this eternal life they would need to be partakers of his life: "Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life."^{John 6:35, 51, 53, 54.}
