Trying to glean some short thoughts from a chapter written by the beloved Apostle John that is 71 verses long is not easy. It is no secret that we need both bread (food) and water to live. Although we can last longer without food than we can with water we need both if we wish to . In chapter four we read that Jesus is the source of "living water" and that everyone who drinks of the water that He gives shall never thirst. In today's chapter we read that Jesus is the "true bread out of heaven" given by the Father and that He is the "bread of life". Like the "living water" that causes the partaker to never thirst, the "bread of life" causes the partaker to not hunger. Furthermore, we read that those who partake of this bread will not die but will live forever. I must mention a very important series of truths that we see set forth in verses 37, 39, 44 and 65 of today's chapter. Believers are a gift from the Father to the Son. There is no other way to come to Him save the Father's drawing you. All that are drawn to the Son are received by the Son as they are gifts from His Father. And all that are received by Him are secure in Him. I am so thankful that by the grace of God I have been drawn to the Son, received by the Son and kept by the Son. I am grateful that I have been granted to partake of the "living water" and "bread of life" that is found in Jesus. I will never thirst and hunger no more. I will not die but liver forever in Him. Praise God.
