Why did he say … he is the Bread? (2)

Our bodies need their fuel food
to grow and mend, survive, feel good,
but souls will not live well for ever
unless they too are fed with Bread
that gives eternal life, sustains,
and Jesus made momentous claims:
divine, he’d take the weight of sin,
and rise to give us life in Him
– he is himself this Living Bread,
but scorners, to this life are dead.

Jesus said, 'I am the bread of life'. John 6:35

I see them around me, cold eyes, starved souls, dead inside ... I try and hold my tears for them, so I don't cry... Mark 8v18... it keeps coming back at me... Have a blessed weekend :-)

Hi, Sharon, sorry to be slow replying, we've just been able to have a few days break from our duties of caring for my husband's elderly parents.
An interesting comment — so many people think we want to interfere, but we just know what joy and help and life is available, and long for their being able to benefit from it.

warm regards, Rhiannon
