If you've been around church long enough you might remember (or still have!) a little plastic loaf of bread with scripture verse cards sticking out of it. It was inscribed with "Our Daily Bread". (I just checked - you can still get them on Amazon!)
Jesus said in 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."
So Jesus is the One who gives true life and truly sustains us.
John 1:1,14: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us."
We have every reason to celebrate and treasure the scriptures. Jesus is the Living Word, our Daily Bread, and He fulfills the Law and the Prophets and speaks through the Bible. Amazing.
Here's what else is amazing - that never changes; not in the midst of a pandemic, not while you're facing a layoff, not while your kids' school year is uncertain and no matter what is announced in the next press conference. He is still speaking, He is still giving hope and life and peace to everyone who trusts in Him. He is still answering prayer. He is still with us. I have planted two feet firmly in these truths.
On Sunday, we are going to gather around the Word and remember how powerful it is to speak into our lives, into the lives of our family members and into the lives of everyone God has put in our lives. We are walking into unprecedented times with an opportunity to mobilize as His Church like never before. I invite you to join me on Sunday and celebrate the Word together with your church family and allow your heart to be anchored there again.
See you on Sunday,
Pastor Tracy
