I Am: the Bread of Life
Rev. Dylan Valliere
John 6:22-59- Jesus’ coming was about being bread more than about giving bread.
- We need God to change our desires from primarily loving things to loving the Giver of things.
- Many folks can’t move beyond what Jesus can give to them to who Jesus can be for them.
- Do not work for food that doesn’t last; work for food that lasts forever and gives eternal life.
- To have eternal life you must work for bread by believing in Jesus.
- Jesus is the true bread from heaven; he is the bread of life.
- Many who hear Jesus’ offer of himself for eternal benefit continue to desire only Jesus only for temporal benefit.
- Desiring Jesus only or mainly for earthly benefit is called the prosperity gospel—and it is no gospel at all.
