The Bread of Life
I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Friday morning, the 22nd of May, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today.
We start in the Book of Deuteronomy 8:3:
”…you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord.”
Then we go to the Gospel of John 6:35:
”And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger…”
Jesus is the one who satisfies your hunger today, no one else and nothing else! Oh, I can tell you from the bottom of my heart, as a young man, I tried everything. I thought that I would be fulfilled when I became a successful sportsman. I thought that I would make it if I just owned my own farm, then I would never hunger again for anything. Then I met my dear wife and I thought, “That is it, now I have everything I need in life!” Then came along the children, even an extra blessing - but still an emptiness in my heart.
Are you there today, my dear friend? Are you feeling that way? ”Angus, I’ve tried everything, I’ve done everything, I’ve succeeded in so many ways and I am still not satisfied.” This message is for you today. You see, Mark 8:36 says:
”For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?”
Our hunger is satisfied only when we eat the Bread of Life and His name is Jesus Christ. The wisest man that ever lived was Solomon, and what did he say after he had achieved everything? “Vanity, vanity,” he said, “it’s like chasing the wind. I’ve done it all and I’ve got nothing to show for it.” We need the meat. We need the Word of God. I want to pray for you today because maybe you’re in that position.
Father God,
I pray for my friend listening to this message today, that you will show them the only time that they will be satisfied and filled up is when they seek You first. I pray Lord, that they will start to get up early in the morning, spend time in Your presence, in prayer, Bible-reading and in thinking about the things which have eternal value, and Your peace, Your shalom, Your satisfaction will be all they need.
In Jesus name, amen.
God bless you and have a wonderful day.
Goodbye
