They didn’t need to look elsewhere for spiritual food, for nourishment, for sustenance – HE was their life! All they needed to do was believe in Him. Like in many cultures, bread was a staple in the diet of the Jewish people, and when Jesus said that He was the “bread of life,” He was saying that, as bread sustains them physically, He would sustain them spiritually. For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” (John 6:32-33) Jesus’s response surprised them: “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. They reminded Jesus that God gave their ancestors manna (bread) from heaven while they wandered in the desert so they wouldn’t die (Exodus 16:35). Jesus had just fed several thousand people with only a few loaves of bread, yet some people were asking for a sign from Jesus to prove He was from God. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.’” (John 6:35) “Then Jesus declared, ‘I am the bread of life. One important point: it’s imperative to read these “I am” statements in context so we form an accurate understanding of what Jesus was really saying. In the book of John, there are seven times in which Jesus says “I am _.” Each statement gives us a glimpse into God’s character and what He’s like.

He used figurative language to relate common objects or concepts with Himself or His Kingdom so that people could better understand His character and purpose. In fact, He often spoke in parables, or, as we will see in this article, in metaphors. During Jesus’s ministry on earth, He said many things that challenged His listeners.
