I Am the Bread of Life

 "I am the Bread of Life." John 6:35 

Jesus also said in John 6:32: " For the bread of God is that which COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN, and GIVES LIFE TO THE WORLD." So of course, the people hearing that said: "Lord ALWAYS GIVE US THIS BREAD!!!" They were probably looking for manna, like the bread that fell from heaven during Moses' time every single day! But today, we can have the bread of life every single minute! If we believe. If we don't believe He is God, then we will always be hungry. Always be searching. But you see, that's OK. Jesus said, "If you seek, you will find." (Matthew 7:7) Let us just keep seeking, keep asking, keep looking. Don't stop. 

Jesus also said, “Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.” Just this morning I received a message from our employee saying that her mother’s neighbors are hungry. The husbands of the eight families work in construction and they don’t have work because of this quarantine. They have so many children and they have hardly anything to eat. The mom tries to feed them twice a week. And this is happening all over the Philippines! Is this true, Jesus, that whoever comes and believes in You will NEVER hunger nor thirst? All over the Philippines, prayers are going up to heaven, for food to feed their families. But Jesus also said that if we seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, all these things, food, clothing, whatever we need, will be given to us as well (Matthew 6:33). 

I believe that God also answers prayers through His people. Many are working to feed the people in the slum areas, in shanty towns across our cities. Big foundations have been able to distribute food and gift certificates in many places. But I also like the stories of small groups like the Poveda high school batch of my niece who started out by helping with medical supplies, and then they decided to help feed the poor in Payatas. They were able to give rice and canned goods for hundreds of families. And that was because they made infographics, and were able to raise funds and find suppliers who gave them a good price. There’s also the ICA high school batch who also raised funds to help the Puso ng Ama Foundation feed the hungry in Payatas. Many people are helping, and what I know is God will not be outdone in generosity. “Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will repay him for his deed (Proverbs 19:17)”
