OzThoughts – Tuesday, 28th April, 2009.

What is your favourite type of bread? I could not even guess. If I started listing al the types of bread available today in most bread shops or even the supermarket, I would probably not guess your favourite.

There would even be different reasons by you chose your favourite type. Some maybe would choose the old basic white loaf with that special crusty crust that comes from being baked in a wood fired oven. Others might choose a rye or whole meal or grain bread or a linseed and soy as those types are good for you. Others might choose the type of bread to suit the things they will put on it.

John records that the people challenged Jesus to show them what he could do and reminded him that “Moses fed our ancestors with bread in the desert. It says so in the Scriptures: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

You can r4ead what jesyus said in reply here:

30-31 They waffled: "Why don't you give us a clue about who you are, just a hint of what's going on? When we see what's up, we'll commit ourselves. Show us what you can do. Moses fed our ancestors with bread in the desert. It says so in the Scriptures: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"
32-33 Jesus responded, "The real significance of that Scripture is not that Moses gave you bread from heaven but that my Father is right now offering you bread from heaven, the real bread. The Bread of God came down out of heaven and is giving life to the world."
34 They jumped at that: "Master, give us this bread, now and forever!"
35-38 Jesus said, "I am the Bread of Life. The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever. I have told you this explicitly because even though you have seen me in action, you don't really believe me. Every person the Father gives me eventually comes running to me. And once that person is with me, I hold on and don't let go. I came down from heaven not to follow my own whim but to accomplish the will of the One who sent me. (John 6:30-35 The Message).

What a wonderful statement and promise Jesus gives them: “I am the Bread of Life. The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever.”

Spirit of God, thou art the bread of Heaven
Come for my need in Jesus Christ the Lord;
Broken in him whose life was freely given
In deathless love he only could afford.

Thou art the bread that satisfies forever,
The inward health that overcomes disease,
The love that lives through death. subsiding never,
My secret fortress and my soul's release.

O Bread from God, I choose thee now with gladness,
Though sweet the taste of earthly gain may be;
My spirit pines in poverty and sadness
Unless my sustenance be found in thee.

Lord God, I come, thy life in mine is waking;
Whate'er I am I bring into thy care.
Thy loving hands will bless me in the breaking
Of bread thou gavest and I long to share.

Guide me, O thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but thou art mighty;
Hold me with thy powerful hand.
Bread of Heaven,
Feed me now and evermore.

Open thou the crystal fountain
Whence the healing stream shall flow;
Let the fiery. cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliverer,
Be thou still my strength and shield.

When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of death and Hell's destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan's side.
Songs of praises
I will ever give to thee.
