NOTES:
“Jesus responded, “The real significance of that Scripture is not that Moses gave you bread from heaven but that my Father is right now offering you bread from heaven, the real bread. The Bread of God came down out of heaven and is giving life to the world.” – John 6:32,33 in The Message
“Master, from now on give us this bread!” – John 6:34
Manna = Death
Jesus = Life
“Wait, Listen. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourself in abundance.” – Isaiah 55:1,2
“When you follow the desires (appetite) of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.” – Galatians 5:19-21
POEM:
Do things on our own, it’s the air we breathe
what about the experience and the things we need
can we do it all, can we live off stories
yet inside we are dry and getting so boring
We can’t live off moldy bread; stale and crusty
let’s get that Made Fresh Daily, fail to be ugly
forget being hungry, why wait? Grab the word
without it so absurd, so have you not heard
Bread is more of an universal food, odd
it’s the center piece, a symbol of dependence on God
they saw it multiply, about 2000 years ago
they wanted to see it more, grow and grow
Remember the manna, remember the thousands
the bread of God came, down from the heavens
real bread that gives life, a bar set high
the real deal, so official, that’s how you get life

Sustaining, original, no side effects
Satisfaction guarenteed, know life expects…
To please all and all, consistent and permanent
No other option, yes you’re deservin’ it
::
Take it in, inhale, and let it build your body
it will take place, take fruit, not a hobby
this is real life, no need for an avatar
why leave home, why drive so far
Isn’t the home cookin’ worth your appetite
why go out tonight, if your bell aches in the night
eating flesh, drinking blood – that’s cooky
it’s spiritual, not literal, you smart cookie
Don’t just nibble around the edges of Jesus
he’s a full course meal, his name is Jesus
consume him, he consumes you, invest in him
no flirt, full commitment – ingestin’ him
He was made to please us, let’s please him too
give him our all, all of us is what’s due
snack attack is back, that’s whack, it’ll lack
what we need is sustenance, it’s what we can’t lack
::
Sustaining, original, no side effects
Satisfaction guarenteed, know life expects…
To please all and all, consistent and permanent
No other option, yes you’re deservin’ it
