This week we will begin an (intermittent) series on Jesus’ “I am” statements in the gospel of John – statements which reveal his glory, grace and identity, showing us that Jesus himself is everything we could possibly hope for and need. We start this Sunday with Jesus’ claim to be the Bread of Life, where he shows us how the life and sustenance of our daily food is really only a pointer to him, the Living Bread, which gives eternal life and satisfaction.
