Very often, we go where we feel comfortable — where we sense comfort. We believe that being “comfort” is enough. But we forget that everything has a price. A price was paid for your liberty, your freedom, and your redemption. Yet these redemption rights may not be fully enjoyed if we continue chasing the wrong things.
When you chase after bread instead of the Bread Giver, what you receive is bread for a moment. You only postpone the hunger. You eat, but you never learn how it was made. You are filled temporarily.
When Jesus fed the five thousand with five loaves and two fish, the people were amazed. They loved the food even more than the signs they witnessed. Beneath their amazement was something else they had discovered: what seemed like a free way to eat without labor.
In the Gospel of John 6:22–26, the crowd searched for Jesus after He had left. When they found Him, He said:
“Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.”
This is how many of us live. We seek provision but not the Provider. We pursue miracles but not the Miracle Worker. We desire light in our business, careers, and families, yet we ignore the Light Giver.
Are we not like those men? They sought bread to satisfy their stomachs but failed to recognize the Bread of Life standing before them. Though they had read the scrolls, they could not discern Him until He revealed Himself as the Bread of Life.
Life is filled with many kinds of hunger. The desires of the heart seem endless. We often believe we will be satisfied when we achieve something or obtain something. Yet when we finally get it, another longing rises.
The truth is, the hunger is deeper than what we can see.
Jesus declares in the Gospel of John 6:35:
“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”
What we truly need is the kind of food that satisfies the soul — the presence of Christ. When we feed daily at His table, we begin to realize that our hunger was never just physical or material. It was spiritual. It was for Him.
Jesus desires to fill every nook and cranny of your spirit, your life, and your soul. He is the Light that causes you not merely to survive, but to live triumphantly.
Come to the Bread of Life today.
Stay Revived!
