Just another promise?

Published: Aug. 14, 2016, 10 a.m.

We live in an age of abundance. So many have so much more than what even fits in their cupboards, closets, and garages. And yet, still so many feel so unfulfilled so much of the time. It's evidence that we were born with a deeper hunger, one that only Jesus, the Bread of Life, can satisfy. This week Jesus explains exactly what he means by calling himself the Bread of Life. He promises us a richer, fuller life that lasts into eternity. But just as when Jesus made that promises, appearances can deceive. Is that really what the life of a Christian looks like? Jesus points us away from what human wisdom tells us and invites us to trust his divine wisdom.
