The Bread of Life, Week Three: The Cross of Grace
Posted August 9th, 2009 by fr. karl
John 6:41-51
Jesus challenges the crowd to stop grumbling and to open their hearts to His teaching. They have been seeking bread and a sign from Jesus, and now He will begin pointing to them. The bread they seek will not ultimately give them life, but the bread which Jesus offers will give eternal life. That bread is His flesh given in sacrifice for the world. In the Cross of Grace, we receive the gift of eternal life and that ever-standing testimony to God’s love for us. This is the Grace upon which we build our lives!
