The Bread of Life Jesus Christ The Only Way To Heaven
The Bread of Life is Jesus and no other way. He is the Only way to Heaven He died on a rugged cross and shed His blood, and when He said “It Is Finished” He meant it without a doubt.

John 6:35 ” And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.”
Jesus is our bread of life. He is the only way to heaven. We can’t deny His existence or refuse to believe that He is the Son of God, and still, think that we have a chance to go to heaven. Jesus was God In the Flesh. He (God) walked the earth with us, through Jesus. In Matthew 10:32,33 it says, ” Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. (33) but whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.”
Jesus explains this to His disciples in Matthew 26:26-28 ” And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, take, eat; this is my body.(27) then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, drink from it all of you. (28) for this is My body of the New Covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”
NO OTHER person in God’s Word claims to be “the bread of life.” Jesus is the only one who says so, in John 6:48 “I am the bread of life.” In verse 50, “this is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.” He tells us that He was sent by God, and verse 51, “I am the living bread which comes down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever, and the bread I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the light of the world.” Taking communion (breaking bread (the Flesh) and drinking of the wine (the blood) without knowing God in our hearts and asking God to cleanse us from all unrighteousness before participating can be dangerous. It is not something that should be done out of habit or just because one sees others do. We see in 1st Corinthians 11 26-32 (26) “for as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until it comes. (27) therefore, whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. (28) but let a man examine himself, and let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. (29) for he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not Discerning the Lord’s body. (30) for this reason, many are weak and sick among you, and many sleep(die).
Memory Verse for December 11, 2016
John 6:48 “I am the bread of life”
Father show us what is in our hearts that is hindering us from entering Heaven. Lord if we have taken of the bread or of the cup, and was with sin, Lord I ask you to forgive us. Father cleanse us from all unrighteousness so that we are without blemish. Father, we want you to look upon us and see no sin. Father, we know you cannot look at sin, so Father we ask that if there is anything that is keeping us from heaven, we ask that you remove anything that keeps us from being with You when we are taken from this world. In Jesus name, we pray. Amen
