In cultures with an abundance of food choices, bread is no longer a necessary part of the diet so some choose to live without it for various reasons. In the first century, however, bread was viewed as an essential staple. A diet without bread was a foreign concept.
One day a crowd of people sought out Jesus because He had performed the miracle of multiplying loaves of bread (John 6:11,26). They asked Him to perform a sign like the manna from heaven that God had provided for His people in the desert (6:30-31; Ex. 16:4). When Jesus said He was “the true bread from heaven” (John 6:32), the people didn’t understand. They wanted literal daily bread. But Jesus was saying that He had been sent to be their spiritual bread; He would supply their daily spiritual needs. If they, by faith, applied and took His words and life into their very souls, they would experience everlasting satisfaction (v.35).
Jesus doesn’t want to be an optional commodity in our diets; He desires to be the essential staple in our lives, our “necessary” food. As first-century Jews could never imagine life without physical bread, may we never attempt to live without Jesus, our spiritual bread!
Read: John 6:25-35

Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday, Meg and All FRiends!
Nice weather here today.
My only niece is getting married on Saturday. She is a sweet girl and found a great young man. Both saved Christians, so they have a wonderful foundation for a good marriage. I am so happy for them.
I will sit in “The Crying Pew” for all the aunts with tears of joy. LOL. There should be a complimentary box of Kleenex in each row.
Cheers
As a child, Living in a town of 300 - 400 or so, in Oklahoma: we had a few chickens. and a milk cow, and churned our butter. Very different way of life. Little time for idleness. Today we sit at the computer, or in front of the TV for hours, or on Social Medias/ Face Book, etc.
RADIO was available and I remember it had some good programs, and news, and once a week the hit parade (of music). ‘ Jack Armstrong the all American Boy.’ ‘The Inner Sanctum’, ‘Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of men?’ ‘ The Shadow knows!’ etc., ‘Jack Benny,’ ‘Fibber McGee and Molly.’ Bob Hope’. ‘Jimmy Durante’, ‘Red Skeleton’. Radio was a great boon to the nation.
We have come a long way. Appreciate the good. Do not let the Humanist, the relativist, and the evolutionist mislead and divert away from the Christian faith. Satan is ever at work and he misleads many.
God bless America, in Jesus name, amen.
