Read

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, I will rain down bread from heaven for you. Each day the people are to go out and gather enough for that day. In this way I will test whether or not they will follow My instructions.

Exodus 16:4 (BSB)

Jesus answered, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never hunger, and whoever believes in Me will never thirst.

John 6:35 (BSB)

Think

In the desert, God sent bread from heaven every morning. Jesus said He is the bread of life. Here is something to remember: Bethlehem, the town where He was born, means “house of bread.”

Talk about it

What is your favorite thing from a bakery? Why do we need Jesus even more than bread?

Pray

Jesus, You are the bread of life. Help me come to You every day.
