At TGCW24, Melissa Kruger teaches on Jesus’s declaration in John 6, “I AM the Bread of Life.”
The day before the events in this passage, Jesus fed a large crowd by miraculously multiplying bread and fish. But Jesus has something greater than their physical needs in mind—he wants to meet their spiritual needs. He extends an invitation to be satisfied and sustained in him, telling his listeners then and now that he is “the living bread that came down from heaven.” Jesus is the Bread of Life who offers good news for spiritually hungry people.
Kruger teaches the following:
- The persistent problem: seeking satisfaction in the wrong places
- The surprising solution: Jesus as the Bread of Life
- The difficult decision: believing in Jesus and seeking him daily
- The call to invite others to the feast
