TODAY’S TURNING POINT WITH DR. DAVID JEREMIAH DAILY DEVOTIONAL 3 JULY 2024 MESSAGE
Read David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 3 July 2024, Wednesday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Bread of Life
And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.” – John 6:35
Recommended Reading: John 6:41-59
The Spanish explorer, Juan Ponce de León, was supposedly searching for the fountain of youth when he explored Florida in 1513. An antidote to death has always been a human aspiration.
When Jesus said, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world” (John 6:51), His words caused no small disturbance—even among His true followers (John 6:61, 66). Jesus wasn’t promising the avoidance of physical death but spiritual death. And He wasn’t suggesting that eating His physical body was the way to consume the “bread” of which He spoke. He spoke of spiritual, eternal life and His own impending death for the sins of the world.
We “consume” Jesus by believing in Him: “He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live” (John 11:25).
When we preach Jesus Christ, oh! Then we are not putting out the plates, and the knives and the forks for the feast, but we are handing out the bread itself.
Charles Spurgeon
