"...bread of life..."

The word "bread' occurs 320 times in the New King James Version of the Bible, according to www.biblegateway.com. In almost all of its occurrences, it simply represents food. But, in John 6:35;48, we see the phrase "bread of life". We obviously need food (bread) to keep our bodies alive, but it is obvious that Jesus is not speaking of literal bread in these verses. The full verses read: "And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst." John 6:35, and " I am the bread of life." John 6:48. Jesus used this metaphor to explain that He can fill your spiritual hunger. With Him, you will never be without, you will never be empty.

Sharing the "bread" is essential! We live in a world full of spiritually empty people! People who have that "hunger" that those in the church have filled through Jesus. Before we could be filled up with the "bread", we must have first had a "hunger", or an emptiness. Someone must have first told you about Jesus, and in turn, it is now your responsibility to do the same (Mark 16:15)! We can't expect people to be led to the truth on their own!
