Why is Jesus often referred to as the bread of life?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus is referred to as the bread of life because He alone sustains and fulfills our spiritual needs.

In the context of the sermon, Jesus being the bread of life signifies that He is the ultimate source of sustenance and spiritual nourishment for our souls. Just as the Syrophoenician woman sought crumbs from the children's bread, it highlights that even the smallest portion from Christ is enough to meet our needs. In John 6:35, Jesus declares, 'I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.' This statement emphasizes that salvation and fulfillment come solely through Christ and that we are entirely dependent on Him for our spiritual sustenance.
