The Bread of Life.

Hi!
Just what is this odd term, the Bread of Life? In John 6, Jesus refers to himself as the bread of life many times. Many of the disciples could not understand what He meant and so abandoned Him.

A few, however, understood that Jesus had the words of life and so stayed. We, too, try to understand what Jesus said-and many still fall away, unable or unwilling to comprehend.

Join Pastor John as he leads us through this sometimes difficult-to-understand passage.
