I Am the bread of life - Lenten sermon series part 1

What truly satisfies you?

What food can you really not do without?

When Jesus says 'I am the bread of life,' he is saying that he is the only one who can ultimately satisfy the hungers of the human heart, mind and spirit. He is the one who nourishes and gives life to body, mind and spirit. Jesus engaged in holistic ministry - he fed and healed people's bodies, nourished their minds through his teaching, and gave life to their spirit by bringing them back into relationship with God. And he does the same for us now!

This sermon is part 1 of a Lenten sermon series on the "I am" sayings of Jesus found in the Gospel of John.

You can find some more reflections on these "I am" sayings at Common Grace - a network of Christians passionate about Jesus and about justice.

This sermon was preached at Pakenham Lakeside Church on Sunday 1st March 2020.

Enjoy!
