Jesus proclaims, “I am the bread of life.” We unpack the importance of receiving what we need most in life and what happens when we truly embrace the living bread that Jesus offers. Through the lens of everyday experiences—whether it’s the stress of daily responsibilities or the longing for deeper spiritual fulfillment—this sermon explores how the Word and the sacrament of communion nourish us completely. We also discuss how our faith in Jesus as the living bread not only sustains us but empowers us to spread His love to others.

Key Points:

• The significance of Jesus as the bread of life and how it fulfills our deepest needs.
• The contrast between physical bread and the spiritual nourishment provided by Christ.
