"Jesus, The Bread of Life"

   "Jesus said, I tell you the truth, Moses didn't give you bread from heaven. My Father did. And now he offers you the true bread from heaven. The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." 

   "Sir," they said, "give us that bread every day."  

   "Jesus replied, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But you haven't believed in me even though you have seen me. However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them. For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will. And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day. For it is my Father's will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day."     

   "Then the people began to murmur in disagreement because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven." They said, "Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph? We know his father and mother. How can he say, 'I came down from heaven'?"        

   "But Jesus replied, "Stop complaining about what I said. For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them up. As it is written in the Scriptures, 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. (Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only I, who was sent from God, has seen him.)  

  "I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life. Yes, I am the bread of life! Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die. I am the living bread that came from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh.""

  "Then the people began arguing with each other about what he meant. "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" they asked."

  "So Jesus said again, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. I live because of the living Father who sent me; in the same way, anyone who feeds on me will live because of me. I am the true bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will not die as your ancestors did (even though they ate the manna) but will live forever."" 

  "He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum." (John 6:32-59 NLT)

 Alrighty then! That was fun; so now where do we go from here? Not sure about much in this life, except one very important thing: I do firmly believe that I am gong to Heaven! 

 Isn't that what really matters? Do you firmly believe that is where you go when you die? Strike that! Do you firmly believe that you will never die, but that you will pass from here, straight into Heaven? Something to ponder: You will be headed up yonder!  

  As I figure it, this will most likely take us through to the end of the year; if anyone will still be hanging with me that long. To be totally honest, I simply feel sometimes that I am flying solo and really don't have hardly anyone reading this. Can't say I don't blame anyone for not listening! Besides that, this is just something I said I would do; I hardly expected to be doing it this long; let alone, that there would be anyone still hanging around. 

  Interesting as it may or may not be, there are some very strange things that are happening in this world; some of which, the fake news is really trying to hide and keep people from seeing. However, it might appear that there are some chinks in the armor, because the truth can only be hidden for so long; sooner or later it just becomes too obvious to keep it hidden. 

  Pray for those that hold the microphones and ask the right questions; pray for those in control of the levers and switches; and by all means, Pray For The Churches, Pastors, and Our Children...

"Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him. But we are not of them who draw back into perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul." (Hebrews 10:35-39 KJV)
