Share the Bread of Life wherever you are.
I am the bread of life. John 6:48
I live in a small Mexican city where every morning and evening you can hear a distinctive cry: “Bread!” A man with a huge basket on his bike offers a great variety of fresh sweet and salty breads for sale. I used to live in a bigger city, where I had to go to the bakery to buy bread. So I enjoy having fresh bread brought to my door.
Moving from the thought of feeding physical hunger to spiritual hunger, I think of Jesus’s words: “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever” (John 6:51).
Someone has said that evangelism is really one beggar telling another beggar where he found bread. Many of us can say, “Once I was spiritually hungry, spiritually starving because of my sins. Then I heard the good news. Someone told me where to find bread: in Jesus. And my life changed!”
Now we have the privilege and the responsibility of pointing others to this Bread of Life. We can share Jesus in our neighborhood, in our workplace, in our school, in our places of recreation. We can talk about Jesus in the waiting room, on the bus, or on the train. We can take the good news to others through doors of friendship.
Jesus is the Bread of Life. Let’s tell everybody the great news.
Lord Jesus, I want to be Your witness everywhere I go.
随时随地与人分享耶稣这生命的粮。
我就是生命的粮。-约翰福音6章48节
我住在墨西哥一个小城市里。每天早上和傍晚,我都可以听到小贩的叫卖声:“面包!面包!”在小贩的自行车上有个很大的篮子,里面装着各式各样、甜咸口味的新鲜面包。面包是我每天必备的粮食,以前我住在大城市里,必须亲自到面包店去购买。所以,现在有新鲜的面包送上门,真是太好了。
无论是身体的饥饿,或是心灵的饥渴,都需要得着供应和喂养。这令我想到耶稣说:“我是从天上降下来生命的粮;人若吃这粮,就必永远活着。”(约翰福音6章51节)
有人说,传福音就像是一个乞丐告诉另一个乞丐,哪里可以找到粮食。许多人都可以作见证说:“从前我的心灵饥渴,因为我的罪而灵里枯竭。有人告诉我耶稣就是生命的粮,我得着了,有了新的生命!”
如今,我们有这份殊荣也有义务,让人明白耶稣就是生命的粮。我们可以在社区、职场、学校和休闲场所,向人传讲耶稣的爱。我们也可以在候车室、公车上或火车上,向人述说耶稣的救恩。让我们藉着友谊之门,传讲主福音。
耶稣是生命的粮,让我们向人宣扬这好消息。
亲爱的主耶稣,无论我往何处去,
求祢帮助我为祢作见证。
John 6:34-51New International Version (NIV)
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.”41 At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said,“I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”43 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered. 44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’[a] Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. 46 No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. 47 Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died.50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
