What does the Bible say about Jesus being the bread of life?
Answered in 7 sources
Jesus says in John 6:35, 'I am the bread of life; he that cometh to me shall never hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.'
In John 6:35, Jesus identifies Himself as the 'bread of life', signifying that He is the spiritual nourishment essential for eternal life. This analogy connects to the manna that God provided to the Israelites in the desert, which was a temporary sustenance. Jesus contrasts this with the spiritual sustenance He offers, which leads to eternal life and salvation, emphasizing that true satisfaction can only be found in Him.
