Don't Eat the Wrong Bread

What is bread? It is life. It's sustenance, nourishment, energy, fullness. It keeps us going. So we live for it. And whatever we live for ultimately defines our life. It determines how we treat people, our priorities, our attitude. It becomes our life. And are you ready for this: most people eat the wrong bread. Of course, it is not hard to eat the wrong bread because every piece of bread on this earth is the wrong bread. It doesn't matter if it is sour dough, pumpernickel, white or wheat, even the low carb stuff. It is the wrong bread. No matter how much you eat you will be hungry the next day. We give our lives to obtain something that never actually works. Sure for a moment, but then tomorrow, hungry again. This bread represents not just food, but money, clothes, relationships, achievements, vacation, desires - they all can mean so much for a moment, fulfill for a moment; but tomorrow, hungry again. I said this is the wrong bread, but that implies there is a right bread somewhere. Turn with me to John 6. We are continuing our study of the Gospel of John. We have looked at 7 signs, and now turn our attention to 7 "I AM" statements. The 7 signs point to Jesus being the promised Messiah, the Son of God, but what does that mean to us? What is He for us as the Son of God? That is what a lot of these "I AM" statements are going to be about. Look at John 6:30-40.
