Gospel of the Week

John 6:34-35

‘I am the bread of life.

He who comes to me will never be hungry;

he who believes in me will never thirst.’

Bread is a significant symbol throughout the Bible. It has been a staple in our diet for thousands of years. Jesus can be likened to bread - bread fulfilling a physical hunger we have; Jesus fulfilling a deeper desire for eternal life. 

This week, when you are completing the morning routine of making sandwiches for the lunch box, reflect on the physical nourishment you will provide your body with for the week, but also draw your attention to a spiritual nourishment you will commit to for the week.
