The Bread of Life

🦃 Theme: The Table of Thanksgiving

📖 Scripture:
“I am the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “Those who come to me will never be hungry; those who believe in me will never be thirsty.” — John 6:35 (GNTD)

📜 Background:
In John 6, Jesus speaks to a crowd that had just witnessed the miracle of the loaves and fishes. They were seeking more signs, more bread—but Jesus redirects their hunger toward something deeper. He declares Himself the Bread of Life, the only source of lasting satisfaction. This verse is a powerful invitation to come, believe, and be filled.

💡 Devotional:
One November evening, I baked fresh bread for a family gathering. The aroma filled the house, warm and comforting. As we sat around the table, I thought of John 6:35: “I am the bread of life…”

Jesus doesn’t just meet physical needs—He satisfies the soul. In a world full of temporary fixes and fleeting pleasures, He offers something eternal. When we come to Him, we’re not just fed—we’re fulfilled. The Table of Thanksgiving reminds us that true nourishment isn’t found in what’s on the plate, but in who’s at the center.

If you’re feeling spiritually hungry or dry, come to Jesus. He is the Bread of Life—and He never runs out.

🪞 Reflection Questions:

What are you turning to for satisfaction that doesn’t truly fill you?
How does Jesus’ promise to satisfy your hunger and thirst speak to your current season?
What helps you stay spiritually nourished in daily life?

🙏 Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for being the Bread of Life.
I come to You hungry, thirsty, and ready to be filled.
Help me turn from things that leave me empty and feast on Your truth.
Let Your presence nourish my soul and overflow into gratitude.
Amen.

🛠️ Application:
This week, set aside time to “come to the table” with Jesus.
Read John 6 slowly, reflect on His words, and journal what He’s speaking to your heart.
Each day, ask Him to fill you with what truly satisfies.

📌 Takeaway:
Jesus is our true nourishment.
At The Table of Thanksgiving, we come hungry and leave whole.
