Lembas Bread with Honey - Mar 2020

Grace, Hope & Peace, Friend;

The phrase "Do you want to live forever;" (sometimes attributed to Marine gunnery sergeant Daniel Daly in 1918) challenges the notion that how long we live is more important than what we do with our lives.

After Jesus had miraculously fed five thousand men, (John 6:1-14) the crowds came looking for Him. He accused them of looking for Him just to satisfy their cravings. He said, "Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for eternal life." The people asked, "What are we to do, so that we may accomplish the works of God?" and Jesus replied, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."

They pointed out that Moses had fed them with manna - 'bread out of heaven' - in the wilderness and asked Jesus, "What then are You doing as a sign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work are You performing?" (John 6:25-31)

Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world."
	John 6:32-33

When they said, "Lord, always give us this bread," He replied, "I am the bread of life; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me will never be thirsty." (Vs. 34-35)

"I am the bread of life"

Jesus IS the source of eternal life! "Do you want to live forever?" Believe in Him and you will! (John 3:16)

Yeshua, lechem haChayyim - Jesus, bread of life - feed me with the bread of heaven.

This is the will of My Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.
	John 6:40

Live forever,
