My sister and brother-in-law joined us for dinner, last night, at an Italian restaurant.
For me, the highlight of any dinner is always the bread—and this restaurant definitely didn’t disappoint. The breadsticks were plentiful. They were soft and warm…buttery and covered with parmesan and garlic.
I ended up gorging myself on them and taking half of my spaghetti and meatballs home in a styrofoam to-go box.
Beggars, I am told, often ask for a crust of bread because it is filling…nutritious…a staple.
I don’t think it was by accident that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, a city whose name means “house of bread.”
I also think that when Jesus talked about bread in the scriptures, he was making a great connection for us…telling us that we need HIM to fill us…make us complete.
Jesus satisfies every longing. He will never turn us away hungry because He is THE BREAD OF LIFE!
