What does the Bible say about Jesus being the bread of life?

In John 6, Jesus proclaims, 'I am the bread of life' (John 6:35). He illustrates that just as the Israelites received manna in the wilderness, which ultimately could not give eternal life, he is the true bread that offers eternal life. This bread, which is his flesh given for the life of the world, is essential for spiritual nourishment. Those who partake of him by faith will find true satisfaction and eternal life, as he states in John 6:51, 'If any man eat of this bread, he shall live forever.' Therefore, understanding Christ as the bread of life is vital for recognizing our spiritual needs and the sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice for salvation.
