Dear Family,
Today is Sabbath, May 9, 2026. This is Day 35, and Day 7 of Week 5 in our Count to Pentecost.
Jesus is the Bread of God. He called Himself the Living Bread, the Bread of Life. This announcement is recorded by John.
John 6:32-35, 48-51 (32) Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but My Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. (33) For the bread of God is He which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. (34) Then said they unto Him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. (35) And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst. (48) I am that bread of life. (49) Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. (50) This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. (51) I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever: and the bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
In ancient times, bread was thought to be a daily essential. Jesus, Our Bread, is certainly an essential element for us to have real life; and, we must all eat of it to truly live. The experiences where Jesus fed the multitudes illustrate His heart of abundant generosity to feed us the Element all of us must have for life. Both Jesus and our Father intend this Bread for us now and also for the entire world (Jn 6:51).
John writes in Revelation about the hidden manna that is waiting for us and will be given to him that overcomes. Apparently, there is more to the Bread of Life that we are yet to see and experience as we eat.
Revelation 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
