“Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”(John 6:35 CEB)
Believe.
What does it mean to believe?
Believe the teachings of Jesus.
Is that all it means?
Believe. Support. Embrace.
Take into yourselves.
So it is to show we believe through our actions?
Believe. Absorb. Gulp. Eat.
So it is filling ourselves with the life, actions, teachings, and love of the Christ.
Believe. Eat the bread of life. Let it nourish and become a part of you.
So it is to fill ourselves with the very essence of the Christ, the bread of life.
That’s it. Believe. Support. Embrace. Absorb. Gulp. Eat. Be nourished and transformed.
Amen.
