Hungry World

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” John 6:35

We live in a hungry world. Thirsty too. And as people eat the dust of this world and drink its acrid waters, they become increasingly dissatisfied. That’s where we come in. We were once there ourselves. We ate that dust, drank that water…and then we met a Man who offered us true bread and quenching waters.

We began to sip the water and nibble at the bread and found it was true. Jesus does satisfy. Yes, sometimes we still feel a hunger pang or we thirst, but we now know that those desires serve only to bring us back to Christ. We know by experience that the world’s bread and water never satisfy.e live in a hungry world. Thirsty too. And as people eat the dust of this world and drink its acrid waters, they become increasingly dissatisfied. That’s where we come in. We were once there ourselves. We ate that dust, drank that water…and then we met a Man who offered us true bread and quenching waters.

Have you thought of evangelism as simply telling others who are hungry and thirsty that we have met a Man who offers the bread of life and living water?

I pray that on this Day One, God will bring someone across your path who needs to hear of this Man, Jesus Christ. I also pray that you will look nowhere else in this world for the nourishment that can be found only in your Savior.
