“Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he who comes
to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.” John 6:35 (NASB)
It was a practice of Jesus when He was on earth teaching the
people about Himself to use common everyday experiences and ideas to underscore
who He truly was. Hunger and thirst are
familiar to every person and who does not wish to never be hunger or thirsty
again? In these words, Jesus is not
speaking about our physical hunger and thirst.
He is speaking about how He satisfies our spiritual needs. He was answering people who had been so impressed at the way He had fed thousands of
people the day before. Like them, He
wants them to recognize that we have spiritual needs and that He is able to
meet such needs for us. This is our
promise. We need to constantly turn to
our Lord Jesus for the needs of our hearts and souls. It is not enough just to believe in Jesus as
our Savior. We need to always be looking
to Him to satisfy our spiritual longings.
Jesus says if we constantly trust Him we will never be unsatisfied.
