Jesus alone offers the only bread that truly satisfies.

唯有耶稣这位生命的粮，才能使人真正饱足。

I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. John 6:35

我就是生命的粮，到我这里来的，必定不饿；信我的，永远不渴。-约翰福音6章35节

Riding along with my husband on some errands, I scrolled through emails on my phone and was surprised at an incoming advertisement for a local donut shop, a shop we had just passed on the right side of the street. Suddenly my stomach growled with hunger. I marveled at how technology allows vendors to woo us into their establishments.

我丈夫开车载我去处理一些杂事，我顺便用手机浏览一下电子邮件。车子经过一家售卖甜甜圈的商店时，我的手机竟然出现了那家店的甜甜圈广告。看到这则广告顿时使我感到饥肠辘辘，这家商店使用科技吸引顾客上门的手法，实在让人惊叹。

As I clicked off my email, I mused over God’s constant yearning to draw me closer. He always knows where I am and longs to influence my choices. I wondered, Does my heart growl in desire for Him the way my stomach did over the idea of a donut?

我关掉电子邮件时，不禁思想上帝也不断呼唤我更亲近祂。祂了解我的一切，也期盼能引导我的抉择。我心想：我的心对上帝的渴望，是否有如我的肠胃渴望甜甜圈一样呢？

In John 6, following the miraculous feeding of the five thousand, the disciples eagerly ask Jesus to always give them “the bread that . . . gives life to the world” (vv. 33–34). Jesus responds in verse 35, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” How amazing that a relationship with Jesus can provide constant nourishment in our everyday lives!

在约翰福音第6章，耶稣行神迹喂饱五千人之后，众人追随耶稣，恳求祂将“赐生命给世界的”粮常常赐给他们（33-34节）。耶稣回答说：“我就是生命的粮，到我这里来的，必定不饿；信我的，永远不渴”（35节）。与耶稣建立关系，就能让你我的生命日日获得充足的养分，这是何等奇妙啊！

The donut shop’s advertisement targeted my body’s craving, but God’s continuous knowledge of my heart’s condition invites me to recognize my ongoing need for Him and to receive the sustenance only He can provide.

那家甜甜圈商店的广告，为的是要唤起我身体的需求。但上帝持续关注我心灵的需要，让我深刻体会到，我天天都需要祂，并渴望得着唯独耶稣能供应的灵粮。

Dear God, remind us of our need for Your daily bread of presence.

亲爱的上帝啊，求祢提醒我们，天天都需要祢，因祢是生命的粮。

John 6:32-40    NIV

6 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

约翰福音 6:32-40 

6 耶稣说：“我实实在在地告诉你们：那从天上来的粮不是摩西赐给你们的，乃是我父将天上来的真粮赐给你们。 33 因为神的粮就是那从天上降下来赐生命给世界的。” 34 他们说：“主啊，常将这粮赐给我们！” 35 耶稣说：“我就是生命的粮。到我这里来的，必定不饿；信我的，永远不渴。 36 只是我对你们说过，你们已经看见我，还是不信。 37 凡父所赐给我的人，必到我这里来；到我这里来的，我总不丢弃他。 38 因为我从天上降下来，不是要按自己的意思行，乃是要按那差我来者的意思行。 39 差我来者的意思就是：他所赐给我的，叫我一个也不失落，在末日却叫他复活。 40 因为我父的意思是叫一切见子而信的人得永生，并且在末日我要叫他复活。”

灵粮透视

The heart hunger described in today’s devotional was modeled by Jesus. In Matthew 4:4, Jesus told the Enemy, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” Then in John 4:34, He told His followers, “My food . . . is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.” Jesus’s passion for the Father and His purposes is the greatest example we can have of true spiritual heart hunger. While we cannot perfectly reflect that desire, we can learn to long for the Father’s presence and provision—just as Jesus did.

今天的灵修文章所描述的心灵饥渴，从耶稣身上表露无遗。在马太福音4章4节，耶稣对撒但说：“经上记着说：‘人活着，不是单靠食物，乃是靠上帝口里所出的一切话。’”在约翰福音4章34节，耶稣告诉祂的门徒说：“我的食物就是遵行差我来者的旨意，做成祂的工。”耶稣对天父及其旨意的热爱，乃是我们真正心灵饥渴最好的榜样。尽管我们无法完全反映出这种渴望，但我们可以学习像耶稣一样，渴盼天父的同在和供应 。
