The Bread That Counts

Jesus was and is still the bread of life. The bread we are to partake in eating is the word of God. It is the food for our human spirits which is consumed by hearing and hearing the word of God over and over (Romans 10:17). As our bodies need physical food to sustain our physical life, we need spiritual food to stay healthy before the Lord. By feeding our spirits the word of God, our soul and bodies will benefit also. Renewing our minds with God’s word will enforce our steadiness in Christ, and build up our faith in trusting God for answers. The bread of life which is the word of God must be consumed regularly, like day and night to make you prosperous (Joshua 1:8). Jesus is the word of God that was made flesh (given a human body), and He dwelt among us long ago (John 1:14). No different than a tree branch needs to draw its nutrients from the vine and the vine from the roots in the ground, christians must stay rooted in Christ (John 15:1-8). With the bread of life being our spiritual nutrients, it enables us to live by faith and not as mere men without God in the world.
