One of our favorite Monday night rituals is to frequent a local Italian restaurant because of their half-price deals. But once there, one of the perks is their amazing bread. I am not one to go seeking bread everyday – in fact, my doctor tells me I should limit my bread intake for health reasons. But their bread is almost addictive. So observing this Monday night ritual comes with a down-side as well. For many, bread is a real temptation.
But what if I told you that there is a bread that provides tremendous health benefits with no long-term negative effects? What if there were a type of bread that offered all the daily nutrients needed to sustain life?
Would you be excited?
Jesus said, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry.” (John 6:35) The bread Jesus offers sustains life – full, meaningful life.
When we trust in the nourishment that Jesus offers, we realize we don’t need all the filler foods we tend to stuff into our lives. The empty calories provided by the distractions of the world cannot compare to the life-giving food Jesus offers.
