““The Bread”The Bread”Neal ParkerNeal Parker

John 6:47-51John 6:47-51

"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life."I am the bread of life."Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died."This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die."I am the living bread that came down out of heaven ; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever ; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh."




John 6:52-56John 6:52-56

Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat ?" So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves."He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink."He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.



John 6:57-58John 6:57-58

"As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me."This is the bread which came down out of heaven ; not as the fathers ate and died ; he who eats this bread will live forever."



I Peter 2:19-20I Peter 2:19-20

For this finds favor, if for the sake of conscience toward God a person bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly. For what credit is there if, when you sin and are harshly treated, you endure it with patience ? But if when you do what is right and suffer for it you patiently endure it, this finds favor with God.




For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH ; and while being reviled, He did not revile in return ; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously ;




and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness ; for by His wounds you were healed. For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.



Isaiah 53:1-3Isaiah 53:1-3

Who has believed our message ? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed ? For He grew up before Him like a tender shoot, And like a root out of parched ground ; He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief ; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.




Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried ; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities ; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way ; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him.




He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth ; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth. By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His generation, who considered That He was cut off out of the land of the living For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?



Isaiah 53:9Isaiah 53:9

His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet He was with a rich man in His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.



I Corinthians 11:23-24I Corinthians 11:23-24

For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread ; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me."




Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly. For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep.




But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord so that we will not be condemned along with the world.

John 13:5–9John 13:5–9

Then He poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, "Lord, do You wash my feet ?" Jesus answered and said to him, "What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter ."Peter said to Him, "Never shall You wash my feet !" Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, then wash not only my feet, but also my hands and my head."



John 13:10–14John 13:10–14

Jesus said to him, "He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean ; and you are clean, but not all of you.” For He knew the one who was betraying Him; for this reason He said, "Not all of you are clean.”So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?"You call Me Teacher and Lord ; and you are right, for so I am."If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

Romans 6:1-4Romans 6:1-4

What shall we say then ? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase ? May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death ? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.



Romans 6:5Romans 6:5

For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection




But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light ; for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD ; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.
