I AM-THE BREAD OF LIFE
Text: John 6: 22–59.
INTRODUCTION:
The seven (7) implications of the name “I AM”:
In the New Testament, Jesus expounded the implication of the name of God “I AM” what it is to man:
I AM-THE BREAD OF LIFE
John 6:49-51 “Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world”
THE BREAD THAT SUSTAINS
Many run after many things in life that does not truly satisfy:
The bread of life-Jesus is what truly satisfies man, it can save, comfort one in the midst of hunger, danger and one seem to be faced with all the ills of this world
EATING THE LIVING BREAD
Eating the living bread (Jesus) should never be taken for physical/literal eating, but rather symbolic. According to John 6:35 “Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty”, one can “eat” Jesus’ broken body by “coming” to Him and “drink” His blood by believing in Him
Feeding on Jesus as the bread of life could be interpreted to mean feeding on His Word (“Your words were found, and I ate them, And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart; For I am called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts” Jeremiah 15:16 “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation” 1st Peter 2:2)
DECLARING HEALING OVER THE LAND
Confession: Job 5:19-27 “From six calamities he will rescue you; in seven no harm will touch you. In famine he will deliver you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword. You will be protected from the lash of the tongue, and need not fear when destruction comes. You will laugh at destruction and famine, and need not fear the wild animals. For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you. You will know that your tent is secure; you will take stock of your property and find nothing missing. You will know that your children will be many, and your descendants like the grass of the earth. You will come to the grave in full vigor, like sheaves gathered in season. “We have examined this, and it is true. So hear it and apply it to yourself”
