The Hungry Heart
“Jesus said to them, '“I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.’” — John 6:35
There’s an ache in every heart that only Jesus can satisfy. We can become numb and stuck in a routine, losing sight of the importance of the basic bread of life. Jesus knows how to address the depleted soul. He knows how to sustain us and cause us to persevere until the end. People are looking for truth. Before crucifying Jesus, Pontius Pilate asked Him, “What is the truth?” Pilate didn’t wait for the answer before walking away. Now the world is reaching the point where it will listen for the answer. Jesus is the bread of life that fills the hungry heart. There are times when we’ve drifted as Christians and tried to be satisfied with other things, only to find out how empty they were. Life isn't about self-help, philosophy, or figuring out how to be good Christians – it’s all about Jesus. As we return to Him, we find fulfillment and life-giving, sustaining grace. Nothing compares to knowing Jesus.
