Chewing up Jesus – Aug. 18, 2024
Update: 2024-08-19
Description
Melissa continues her three-part series on Jesus’ discourse about bread.
The bread of life, as Jesus talks about it in John 6:51-58, isn’t a pill you swallow or compass giving directions. It’s a feast that you get into. It’s messy and visceral and fleshy. Jesus wants to get into our lives and become a part of us. Jesus wants to give us life and give it abundantly.
Jesus doesn’t intend for us to take a crumb of his life. He doesn’t intend for us to use him as a ruler for measurements or a whip for self-destruction through guilt and shame. He is a meal, the life that fills us up, a life of abundance, a life that sustains us forever.
