Evening: Psalm 33; John 6:1–14
Bill Bryson’s new book, “The Body”, describes how wonderfully intricate we are. Yet, how little we understand ourselves. Why are stories of Jesus feeding thousands repeated several times in the Gospels? Isn’t it because Jesus does not simply satisfy physical hunger, but because we find in him answers to the deeper hunger of spirit, the hunger for understanding about ourselves, about life? Even when your belly is full, you can feel empty. D.T. Niles said, “Christianity is one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread.” Well, Jesus is ‘living bread’ for hungry souls … meaning, purpose, justice, reconciliation, life.
