Down For The Count?
And Jesus said to them,
“I am the bread of life. He who comes
to Me shall never hunger, and he who
believes in Me shall never thirst.”
John 6: 35
Muhammad Ali once told college students,
“Stay in college…. until you are
through. If
they can make penicillin out of moldy bread,
they sure can make something out of you.”
Have you ever felt like moldy bread, down for
the count? It can be depression, grief, adversity,
or fatigue. Most of us know that feeling of being
dispirited. But Christ can do something with you!
Jesus didn’t come as a scholar in Athens, an
emperor in Rome, or a wise man in Babylon. He
came in poverty. His first bed was an animal’s
feeding trough. That tells us something.
No matter
your background or circumstances,
you are significant and loved by the King of
kings who entered our world humbly.
But one thing Jesus isn’t—moldy bread.
He is the Bread of Life! Because He lived
in humility, He can lift you to eternity!
We need the true Christmas, “Bread of Life”;
we need “Jesus a Saviour”. Let us embrace
the Gospel…. Let us believe and rejoice…
and heartily welcome the “glad tidings.”
