Eat and Drink

Then Jesus declared, “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 NIV

Jesus is not talking about physical hunger and thirst here. Although the physical presentation can be difficult to navigate - the word 'hangry' comes to mind - the feeling is fleeting once the physical need is met. But how do you satisfy your soul's longing for fulfillment?

Some do it through drugs and alcohol, or gambling. Some through other risky behaviors such as stealing or abuse. These are Satan's ways of telling you how to fulfill the deep longing in your heart, a heart that longs to be in communion with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. We are more than our fleshly, earthly vessels. We are spiritual beings separated from our creator, which is why we long for him.

Feed your soul with the bread of life and the living water.
