THE BREAD OF LIFE: Come to the Table



“Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.” (John‬ ‭6:27‬)

I have heard this story several times, and now share it with you:

Years ago, in the Midwest, there lived an ungodly German farmer named Klein.  His house was across from a Lutheran church, yet he wouldn’t cross the road to attend.  But one day, he heard some Bible school children singing, “Jesus died for all mankind.”  He thought they were singing, “Jesus died for old man Klein.”  The thought that Jesus died for him personally melted his icy heart and he gave his life to Christ.

Jesus is the Bread for the world, but I want you to now He is Bread for you.  Jesus died for the sins of the world, but specifically, He died for Betsy, John, Susie, James—put your name in there.  The table is set. Eternal life is as simple as reaching out a hand of faith and receiving Christ.  There is no goodness you must attain and no works you must do, for this is God’s work: “Jesus answered and said to them, ‘This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.’” (John‬ ‭6:29‬‬)

Will you come to the table? BREAD OF LIFE: Come to the Table
