The Bread That Fills Forever
After feeding 5,000 people with just five loaves and two fish, the crowd chased after Him, hungry for more bread. But instead of sating their hunger, He tells them to stop hoping for food that spoils. Rather, He says, they should seek food that endures to eternal life.
Jesus knows our physical hunger, but He also knows the greater hunger of our souls. Beneath our roaring stomachs is an even louder cry—for forgiveness, reconciliation, and life with God. That’s why He declares:
"I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
John 6:51 (NIV)

Thankfully, God promises to be with us and to empower us to make these changes in our life. When Paul is writing to his mentee Timothy, he encourages him to continue to develop the gift that God has given to him. While we are saved in an instant, it takes a lifetime to develop and work out what God is doing inside of us.
Paul reminds Timothy that God’s Spirit does not give us fear or cowardice. Those things are tools of the devil who is trying to keep us from God. But the Spirit of God empowers us with confidence in Him. He gives us the ...
