John
6:42-48
V
48 I am the bread of life
I
love the picture that represents; I always have. I have written about it many
times on this blog, in my journals. I have so much written to remind myself
that “eating of the bread” is what sustains me; it is what makes the Christian
walk I’m trying to lead possible. Last night in a class on the last chapter of
Revelation, I heard of another way to descried Jesus. In Revelation 22:16 Jesus says, “I am the
root…”, and when I read that I thought of John 6 where He said “I am the bread
of life”. There are many similarities with these two statements. The bread or
food to the life of a human is vitally important. We cannot live with out it.
The same with the root of a tree; the root is fundamental to the survival of
the tree. It sustains the tree; it controls the growth of the tree, it supports
the tree, and it feeds the tree. The root helps secure the tree in times of
storm. Jesus is that to us. He is our root. He is the food that sustains us,
protects us, and I am constantly amazed that He desires to know us.
