Christology: Jesus, our Heavenly Bread


An earthly citizen feeds on earthly food while a heavenly citizen can only survive with a heavenly food. What is this heavenly food? Where and how can we get this heavenly food? One of the reasons why our Lord Jesus Christ came into this world was to announce the coming of God's kingdom. This kingdom cannot exist without a heavenly food. Heavenly food is what sustains the heavenly citizens. 

In the gospel of John 6:44-51 our Lord Jesus Christ said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

Our Lord Jesus Christ is not just the Bread of Life, He is also the Living Bread, the One and only Bread that came down from heaven. He is the Bread of heaven! Whoever eats this bread will never die. Child of God, as accept Jesus, our Heavenly Bread, the Lord God will sustain your life and with our Lord Jesus Christ you will live forever and ever - Amen!
