BREAD OF LIFE



Europe was overwhelmed with hungry, homeless, orphaned children after WWII.  Large camps were created to house and feed the children, but the caregivers noticed that they were anxious and fearful which resulted in sleepless nights.  Finally, a psychologist resolved the issue by instructing the caregivers to give each child a piece of bread after they were put to bed.  The bread was NOT placed in their mouth, but in their hand and the results were astounding!

The children slept all through the night because the bread gave them a sense of security (they were safe), significance (somebody cared), and satisfaction (there was bread for tomorrow).  We need these things also and Jesus has proclaimed that he is the “Bread of Life” who satisfies the spiritual hunger of the human heart and the eternal hunger of the human soul.
