He said that eating of the bread of life would allow one to life forever. He's trying to say we need to make him a part of our life in order to be saved. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%206:35&version=NIV 2009-09-27T21:26:04-05:00 Jesus here claims to be the "bread of life," the source of spiritual life and health. Jesus often uses imagery related to hunger and food to describe the life-giving spiritual nourishment he provides to us. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%206:51-59&version=NIV 2009-07-16T16:44:10-05:00 Just as the image of water is often used to describe the Holy Spirit and the offer of salvation, Jesus uses the image of bread to suggest the spiritual nourishment we receive when we follow him. Just as bread is needed just to sustain life, so a life separated from Jesus is bound to wither away from spiritual starvation. http://biblica.com/dm/index.php 2008-07-01T17:32:47-05:00 Daily Manna from the 'Net is a daily Bible devotional service provided by International Bible Society.
