The book of John - Day 17

Some Bible verses make you stop and say, “Jesus… I’m sorry, what?”

In John 6:53, Jesus says: “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.”

It sounds shocking, but Jesus is making a deeper point:

we all have a spiritual hunger.

If Jesus isn’t feeding you, something else is — success, approval, money, politics, comfort.

But those things are just empty calories.

Jesus says: “I am the bread of life.”

God is like a lifeguard who never fails, constantly watching over us, ready to save. We're all drowning in the pool of life, but through Jesus, we've been offered rescue and new life.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16) These 26 words remind us that God's love isn't conditional—it's for the whole world, including you. Jesus didn't come to condemn us but to save us. Condemnation is not God's goal; salvation is.

This Lent, we're diving into the Gospel of John together. No matter where you are or what mistakes you've made, you are loved more than you can ever know. Nothing can separate you from God's love. Join us as we explore what it means to be fully saved and wholly loved.
