John 6:35  The Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me will never go hungry, and he who believes in Me will never thirst."

Jesus had just fed 5,00 men and probably many others who were with them in the area of Tiberias. When He departs for Capernaum, the crowd follows. After all, this is some bargain! We can sense the pounding of their hearts as they feel the beginning of a new time when their meager existence would be enriched with daily bread provided by their new king!

Most of us aren't asking for the world or don't expect to win the Reader's Digest sweepstakes. But our life experience is confined to limits imposed by life and death. So we are wary of throwing out lot in with someone who claims to be "the bread of life." We can taste the food on our table, even if it is only peanut butter. How can we let go and trust Jesus to provide for all our needs, spiritual and material?

Jesus tells us that if we will let go of our lunch pail we will have a much greater banquet in store. Still, we take along our sandwiches in case the great wedding feast fizzles. Finally He meets us at the door with the wedding garment of salvation, and we know that we have to drop everything to put it on. And, miraculously, we do! And we discover the Bread of Life is more than adequate to all our needs.
