I AM 1 (The Bread of Life)

I AM 1 (The Bread of Life)(John 6:28-59)

When we preach Jesus Christ, oh! Then we are not putting out the plates, and the knives and the forks, for the feast, but we are handing out the bread itself.

Charles Spurgeon

When you come to a feast, no one really cares about the silverware, but when the bread comes out, you know you’re about to feast! Jesus is the one thing that everyone wants and needs!

Cracker Barrel brings out biscuits/cornbread. Red Lobster brings out biscuits. Olive Garden brings out breadsticks. Texas Roadhouse brings out rolls. Bread almost always comes first!

For someone to have life, they need Jesus first.

The Supplier of Bread (vs.32)

This wasn’t any man made bread.

This bread didn’t come from Bunny Bread, Marietta, or Walmart.

This didn’t come from the Monterey Bakery or Muddy Pond.

God gave you the bread!!! It’s not just any bread, it’s the bread of GOD!

The Sending of Bread (vs.32-33)

Galatians 4:4-5 “But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.”

John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

1 Timothy 1:15 “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.”

The Salivating of Bread (vs.34)

The Scorning of the Bread (vs.41)

Lost people want to live for ever, just not by receiving Jesus.

Some saved people love Jesus, but get tired of Him.

Numbers 21:4-5 “And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.”

The Sustenance of Bread (vs.35, 47-51,54-59)

Bread is included at every meal! Because it sustains us! (Breakfast/Biscuits; Lunch/Sandwich Bread(Cold or Toasted); Dinner/Cornbread,Biscuits,Sourdough Bread)

When you include Jesus in everything in your life, you’ll be sustained. He’s more than enough!

In Salvation (vs.48-51)

In Weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9 “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” )

In Everyday Needs (Philippians 4:19 “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” )

In Life (Acts 7:9 “And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him,” )(Sons of Jacob/Israel)
