Bread Of Life
I picked up some great insights from my pastor’s sermon this morning. Find him on Twitter at https://twitter.com/JaredCarlsonGPC
Jesus calls himself the bread of life, often this can seem somewhat odd, even to those of us who call Him our Lord and Savior; it’s just not something you hear otherwise. But it’s so important.
You see our life with God means a fulfilled life, not a perfect life.
To loosely quote some things that Jared said, “Don’t repackage or adjust God’s revelation, when you do that it ceases to be His.” That and, “Accommodation never produces conviction, and appeasement never produces obedience.”
When faith depends on sight it leads to forgetfulness and ungratefulness. We need to be ready to accept God at His word, and trust based on that, not on what we think His word says based on our own, human ideas. God is the bread of life and truly all we need.
