THEME: FOOD OF ETERNAL LIFE.

Greek philosophy and science say there are four essential elements for human survival and these are1. Fire; 2. Air; 3. Earth; 4. Water. Spiritual analysts say these four elements correspond with what Jesus declares: 1. I am the light of the world; 2. I am the breath of life;3. I am the bread of life; 4. I am the living water.
This implies that in Jesus Christ, we find everything we need for spiritual survival. Surprisingly, many follow Jesus, not for the salvation of their souls, but for the earthly bread they can get from him. He scolded his followers and told themn to set their priorities right. He said: Do not labour for the food which perishes but for the food which endures to eternal life which the son of man will give you (John 6:27).

In as much as food, material things and pleasure are good, the word of God and the bread of life give greater satisfaction. St. Athanasius preached about the power of the bread of life many centuries ago. He said: “..After the great and wonderful prayers Eucharistic prayers] have been completed, then the bread becomes the Body, and the wine the Blood, of our Lord Jesus Christ” Do you follow Jesus for the wrong reasons? Do you ask God only for your materialneeds?
