Hunger in the world is real Over 37 million Americans

struggle with hunger and it is estimated that over 2

billion people in the world do not have regular access

to safe nutritious and sufficient food We need

physical food to live The world is also starving for

lack spiritual food as well As Christians we need

daily spiritual food as seen in the feeding of the five

thousand to sustain our faith life Many people were

following Jesus as he began his ministry They

wanted to hear what he had to say they wanted to

see what unbelievable event might happen next But

many were just ldquoMissing the Pointrdquo The crowds were

so focused on the physical events of Jesus ministry

that they were missing the deeper spiritual message

(food) that he was giving them Jesus the Bread that

Satisfies Jesus once quoted Deuteronomy 83

which reminds us that ldquoman shall not live by bread

alonerdquo We can exist physically without really living

We can live our lives on earth and yet never

experience what it means to have true life Hunger is

an indication of a need so is thirst We hunger and

thirst physically eventually we could not live without

it More importantly we cannot live spiritually without

Jesus He is the Bread which satisfies the eternal

hunger of our souls We cannot live without Jesus if

we are truly His followers

Questions

1 How did many miss the point of this special meal

2 What does hunger tell us

3 How is Jesus like the bread that we eat
