It seems kinda vague sometimes to think of Jesus as the bread of life, but this post is helping me think it through a bit more. I love bread. I love this image that Jesus uses. It's just so real.Merissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11678693777467109211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340626.post-78696462900598694982011-11-14T10:20:29.842-07:002011-11-14T10:20:29.842-07:00Bah!

Let's try this again ...</i><br /><br />I love the thoughts you share on Jesus as bread: the fragrant aroma, the work of spreading yeast throughout the dough when it is made, the different types and textures -- some easier and some softer to digest. Basic sustenance. A staple of life in almost any country of the world you go to.<br /><br />The way he refers to himself as Living Bread is particularly powerful for me -- considering everything you articulated so beautifully here and imagining that the thing we take in and chew and digest as <i>alive</i> -- giving us His life, sustaining us, energizing us, giving our bodies and muscles and cells the energy they need to function and work and move. What we are taking in is, in fact, His life. <br /><br />Thank you so much for writing this. You've taught me to love this image in a new and deeper way.<br /><br /><br />grace & peace,<br />+ kirstenkirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789771023962578029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340626.post-39466609236642549882011-11-14T10:00:27.335-07:002011-11-14T10:00:27.335-07:00I'm so glad Christianne shared this with us so...I'm so glad Christianne shared this with us so I could discover your blog. I've been so struck with the comment you posted on the metaphors. The way you fleshed them out was so helpful for me. And this...this meditation on bread. So lovely and rich.
