“I am the bread of life.” (John 6:35)
According to minister and Greek scholar Rick Renner, the word bread in the Old Testament Greek Septuagint is the word manna, which describes a heavenly provision of supernatural sustenance like bread.
In his book Sparkling Gems From the Greek Volume II, Renner says of this provision, “We don’t always know how He imparts His divine supply to us, but we are thankful when He does. With each touch of His hand on our spirits, bodies and minds, we are strengthened, refilled, and replenished. It is supernatural provision! And God superabundantly supplies whatever we need.”
That is what Jesus meant when He said, “I am the bread of life.” He is our Source of supply, not only for natural needs, but for supernatural provision. He is EVERYTHING you’ll ever need.
