What does it mean to be hungry ?
Being hungry is more than a stomach growling for food. It is more than a heart longing for approval. It is more than a deep desire to succeed. It also means our spirit longing for something that will satisfy.
Jesus described Himself as bread to help us to understand that we need Him to live. Knowing Jesus and being in relationship with Him gives us the food necessary for life.
We need to be in constant communion with Jesus. We need to read the Word of God everyday.
John 6:63
Jesus goes on to say, "The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life"
John 6:35
Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty"
John 6:48 -- 51
I am the bread of life. Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If a man eats of this bread, he will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world
