Guardians Of Ancora Bible Plan: Jesus Feeds A Crowdಮಾದರಿ

FOOD THAT GIVES ETERNAL LIFE

Bagels, toast, sandwiches, freshly baked – how do you like your bread?

How about life-changing? Bread is basic stuff, but it’s food that transforms us, from hungry to satisfied. Jesus offers himself as the bread of life, so that we will never be spiritually hungry again. Do we enjoy the deep satisfaction that comes from knowing him as our friend and Savior? Do we ask the Holy Spirit to make us more like Jesus?

Just as the Israelites in the desert had to rely on God for bread from heaven, we can rely on God to provide for us, but in his way and his time, not ours! He meets our needs in unexpected and amazing ways on a daily basis, but so often we take that for granted. We don’t live as if we have eternal life – life with God, which starts now and goes on into eternity. Let’s ask Jesus, the bread of life, to change us into the people God wants us to be. Bread – food that transforms.

Why not have a family picnic? You could invite neighbors and friends along too. Enjoy the food, each other and the surroundings.

TALKING WITH GOD TOGETHER

As a family, make a list of things for which you can be grateful to God. It should be a very long list! Now think of ways you can use the resources you have to help others. Turn your ideas into prayers and then make them happen!
