I Am the Bread of Life

May 7, 2023    Leke Aina

This sermon explores the meaning of Jesus' declaration "I am the Bread of Life" in John 6:33. It unpacks the statement by examining the concepts of "life" and "bread" within the context of Jesus' teachings. Preaching Elder, Leke Aina, argues that "life" in this instance refers to eternal life, which is not merely living forever but involves an intimate knowledge and relationship with God. Jesus, as the bread of life, provides this spiritual sustenance. Just as physical bread nourishes the body, Jesus nourishes the spirit through revelation, and the soul through experiential knowledge. He then emphasizes the practical implications of this metaphor, suggesting that prayer, fellowship with God, and the Word of God are ways to "eat the bread of life" and experience the transformative power of this connection with Jesus.
