Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life.
When we allow Jesus Christ into our lives we become different people. We become more
Christ-like in our attitude and behavior.
According to German folklore there once was a wicked man who wore the mask of a saint to woo
and win the saintly girl he loved. Years later when a castoff girl friend discovered the deception,
she challenged him to take off the mask in front of his beloved and show his face for the sorry
thing he was. He did what he was told only to discover that underneath the saint's mask, his face
had become the face of a saint.
The food Jesus offers us is the eternal food, the food that will change us. Jesus
said, "The one who eats this bread will live forever."
Prayer: God of all things, thank you for sending the bread of life for me. Amen.
