Life Giving Bread 3
By: Ron Edmondson
When they found Him on the other side of the lake, they asked Him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?" Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your fill." John 6 25-26 NIV
As we saw yesterday, Jesus had taken the fives loaves of bread and two fish and fed the multitudes. He was portraying for them a pictue of the Old Testament event where God supplied the people with manna. Jesus showed them that He could still provide them with all their needs.
The people were once more hungry. (It is funny how our stomachs quickly come back for more.) They came back to Jesus to see if He would meet their needs again. They wanted more bread!
What do you want more of? Was there a time in your life when you were closer to God than you are right now? Do you see something others have in Christ that you would like to be a part of? Do you want more of Christ?
Ask God today to give you more manna! Ask Him to fill you with His presence in such a way that others will really know that you have been with the Lord!
The people came back to Jesus because they wanted more of what He had given them. Have you got all of Jesus you can stand?
If your bread box is running on empty, ask God to fill it again with the BREAD OF LIFE. Tell Jesus you want more! In fact tell Him you want Him ALL!
