Evening: Psalm 73; John 6:41-51
If Jesus is bread, what does he mean when he says: “Whoever eats this bread will live forever”? The bread is everything that Jesus represents, chiefly his suffering. Through Jesus’s suffering and death, by a mystery, others truly live. Jesus suffers not to appease an angry God – a perverse idea – but because healing brokenness is costly. Compassion (suffering with someone who suffers) is the spirituality of Jesus. When the Spirit leads your life into compassion, though you may suffer and die, what you’re living for (which is Love) endures.
