Gospel of John Chapter 6

The Gospel of John Chapter 6 contains the miracle of the loaves and fishes.  Jesus feeds over 5,000 people with bread and fish but offers them something far more valuable - The Bread of Life.

Many times in life we seek the wrong bread, the physical bread that sustains our physical lives - a life that ends, when we should seek a life that never ends with the Bread of Life.  We need to seek Jesus Christ who is the Bread of Life who gives us eternal life by the sacrifice of himself for us.
