Jesus is the Bread of Life ~
Jesus is back on land and great crowds are once again following Him. However, they are looking for more physical miracles instead of looking for the Messiah. Jesus redirects them, telling them that they need to be looking for eternal life, not physical comfort. He then tells them that He is the bread of life, He is all they need, they need to look no further. All they need to do is believe.
Oh, how easily we chase after physical comfort and wonderful displays. The people in this passage were present at the miracle of bread and fish and they are looking for more. Wow us, feed us, what will you do for us today? As if Jesus is simply a really cool entertainer. Is that how you view Him? I hope not.
Jesus continues to point the people back in the right direction. He does the same for us. Stop looking at the physical, stop chasing the material. Instead, look to the eternal. Believe that Jesus is the Son of God. That's all you need to do - believe. Those who believe will gain eternal life - what more could you ask for?
