The Bread of Life: Capernaum part 2 by ric gustafson
Someone yelled at Jesus. " Please Sir give us this bread".
" I am the Bread of Life". Jesus looked at the crowd with love in his eyes. " He who comes to me will never go hungry". His voice hesitated. " I have come not to do my will but the will of him who sent me".
Some of the people in the crowd began to grumble.
" Is this not the son of Joseph of Nazareth". Someone yelled. " How can he say that he came down from heaven?".
" I am the Bread of Life". Jesus smiled. " Your forefathers ate the manna but died".
More people began to grumble.
" The bread I give is from heaven". He smiled again. " who ever eats this bread will not die".
Someone yelled. " How can this be?".
" I am the living bread that came down from heaven". His voice again hesitated. " This bread is my flesh which I gave for the life of the world".
Someone yelled. " How can you give us your flesh to eat?".
" Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood". Jesus sighed. " This person will have eternal life and will be with me forever".
The crowd dispersed.
