Tomorrow’s Gospel text ends with Jesus telling the crowds, “I am the bread of life.” The crowds have sought him out to make him king after he fed the 5000 people on the mountain. They are coming to him, not because he is God and they want to be part of his kingdom, but because they want God to make their life happy ever after. As we prepare our hearts for church tomorrow let us listen and pray that we are not going for what we can get from God but listening for how we can partner with him to make this a better world.
I am the Bread of Life – Jaime Thietten
I am the Bread of Life
You who come to Me shall not hunger;
And who believe in Me shall not thirst,
No one can come to Me
Unless the Father beckons.
Chorus
And I will raise you up,
And I will raise you up,
And I will raise you up
On the last day!
The bread that I will give
Is My flesh for the life of the world,
And if you eat of this Bread,
You shall live forever,
You shall live forever!
Chorus
Unless you eat
The Flesh of the Son of Man
And drink of His Blood,
And drink of His Blood,
You shall not have life within you.
Chorus
I am the Resurrection,
I am the Life
If you believe in Me,
Even though you die,
You shall live forever.
Chorus
Jesus, we Trust in You!
