John 6:35 And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst."

Type "bread making" into Amazon, and thousands of book titles will pop up. You can learn how to make artisan bread, sourdough bread, no-knead bread, and more. The possibilities seem endless, yet there are only four main ingredients for baking bread - flour, water, yeast, and salt. Other ingredients, such as sugar, herbs, or cheese, may be added, depending on the recipe. But with only four simple ingredients, you can make a loaf of bread for your family.

Only one ingredient, however, is needed for salvation - the Gospel. Jesus said, "I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world" (John 6:51). When we take Jesus Christ spiritually and make Him a part of us, Jesus satisfies our hunger and gives us eternal life. The Bread of Life promises not only eternal life but a rich abundant life (John 10:10). And this Bread from heaven is far more satisfying than any bread fresh from the oven - with Christ we will never hunger again.
