Gospel John 6:30-35
The crowd said to Jesus: "What sign can you do, that we may see and believe in you? What can you do? Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, as it is written:
He gave them bread from heaven to eat."
So Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave the bread from heaven; my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
So they said to Jesus, "Sir, give us this bread always." Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.”
Reflection The interesting thing about the crowds question Give us a sign. And then they go on to say that God gave us a sign. And why won't you give us a sign? And what an opportunity for Jesus to make a statement that is so profound when he says everything that pointed to something for life in the Old Testament is about me.
I am the one with the authority. If you witness me, you will receive all that you need. I am the sign. I am life. I'm the bread of life.
Closing Prayer Father, you have authority. You have within you the spirit of truth that you long to share with us. Help us get past all the times in which we're asking for more than we really need in order to enter into your life. Let it be always a decision, not necessarily a feeling or a logical conclusion, but let it be our desire to believe in you. And we ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
