“I am the bread of life”

This week I’m starting a lenten series on the “I am” statements of Jesus in the gospel of John.  Sunday we’ll look at
“I am the bread of life.”

My Brothers and Sisters, if we do but get hold of Jesus Christ and feed on Him, He is sufficient for us—sufficient for
gigantic labors, sufficient for anguish, for grief, for sorrow—sufficient for the weakest of the babes for He is the unadulterated milk—sufficient for the full-grown men among us, for He is the strong meat of the Kingdom of God. His flesh is meat, indeed! For your spiritual manhood there is bone, gristle, muscle, brain, everything that you need, in Christ. If you feed on Him, He will build you up, not in one direction only, but in all ways, for you are complete in Him— thoroughly furnished unto all necessities. Christ Jesus meets all the needs of all His people with a Divine sufficiency.  –Spurgeon
