Alanis Morissette Put it very well when she sang this song. Ironic.....
Now as some of you know I am a bread man....I sell and deliver a Nationally popular brand of bread and snack cakes, (not as glorious as some might think.) So I thought to myself, "I am a bread man," not thinking in disgust or despair but more as a matter of fact.
Ask me about bread, no, go right ahead. Not to say I know it all but I could probably tell you by taste texture and smell what company baked that loaf of bread. White, wheat, whole grain, multi-grain, etc. I unfortunately know my bread.
So in all this there is one thing I have been searching for for quite some time now, not that it is lost or that I have never knew where to look. We all know where to find Him, but do we truly find find Him.
What I mean to say is that I am a bread man looking for the Bread of Life. Christ told his Disciples at the last supper speak these words from Luke chapter 22 verse 19: "And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.”"
Here are a few more to ponder:
John 6:33
For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
John 6:35
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
John 6:48
I am the bread of life.
John 6:51
I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
Kinda Ironic huh?!?! Someday by the Grace of God I may find the Truth of His Word, applying such to my life and living as God has commanded of me. Amen.
