Hi Brian!

The 'word' for this week is actually one of the Names of Jesus! "Bread of Life". We find this name in John 6:35 and in John 6:38. 

John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. KJV

John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 48 I am that bread of life. KJV

Bread is the Greek word "artos". Vine's Expository Dictionary says "This word stand for literal bread in some passages and nourishment in genreal in others. In these two it refers to Christ as the Bread of Life. "Life" here is the Greek word "Zoe", which means "Life" according to Strong's Greek Concordance. Thayer's Greek Lexicon says: that aboluste fullness of life which belongs to God, life real and genuine.  life as a principle, life in the absolute sense, life as God has it, that which the Father has in Himself, and which He gave to the Incarnate Son to have in Himself and which the Son manifested in the world. So JESUS declared that HE is that Bread of Life which we all NEED and REQUIRE in order to live effectively in this world! We are, of ALL people, MOST BLESSED! JESUS is NOT keeping things from us, but patiently waiting on us to grab ahold of everything that HE is FOR US! Your success in your career, your music, friendships, marriage, parenting and in every other area shows that you are partaking of all that is provided by the BREAD of LIFE! That speaks JESUS without even saying words! Here again is one of my new favorite worship songs. Brandon Lake with "Gratitude":

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
