Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

John 6:35

Imagine reading the above verse and immediately deciding to stop eating and drinking. What is Jesus actually teaching there? Does he want to miraculously sustain us forever in this world, in this life? No, but he promises Spiritual sustenance and an eternal life with him.

So the message is this: read with the intent to understand, not simply to glance at the word as a ritual but to delve into the Spiritual truth of scripture and to grow and be fed by Jesus in our Spirit. In the end, we know better.
