John 6:25–59 • Bread of Life
This is about spiritual nourishment. We all know what it is to feel well nourished spiritually: full and strong. And we know what it is to be spiritually starved, under-nourished or malnourished. Jesus presents himself as the “bread of life that comes down from heaven” — nourishment offered by God. And the ensuing argument illustrates the ways of resistance. How do we resist the nourishment God offers? And how is life transformed when we take the bread of eternal life into our hearts?
