Thursday of the Third Week of Easter

John 6:44-51

“I am the living bread that came down from heaven;

whoever eats this bread will live forever;

and the bread that I will give is my Flesh

for the life of the world.”

To be nourished and fed by the “Bread of Life,” is to draw Jesus into yourself and to be united with him. The old adage, “You are what you eat,” becomes more true here than in any cafeteria or kitchen in the world. Eating the “Bread of Life” is transformative because as he remains in us and we in him we become more like Jesus.

We are called by Jesus to feed on the “Bread of Life” until we are truly satisfied. Abide in Jesus, and allow Jesus to abide in you. Feast on him in daily devotions and prayer. Feast on him in your heart and in every way that you possibly can. The more we feed upon him, both literally and in our hearts, the more like him we shall become.
