TOPIC: JESUS AS THE LIVING BREAD AND WATER
CONTENT
INTRODUCTION
Bread was the staple food of the Hebrew. Hence “bread” is interpreted simply to mean “food”. “Bread” also refers to our physical needs. Water is used to quench thirst. Hence “bread and water” therefore is expected to satisfy our physical hunger and thirst. Invariably, we can say that the most human need for life is water and food (bread).
JESUS AS THE LIVING BREAD
Jesus discusses with the people about Himself as the bread of life when they found Him on the other side of the sea. They said to Him “Rabbi, when did you come here?” Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not labour for the food which perishes, but for rhe food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you; for on him has God the father set his seal.” Then they said to Him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them to believe in Him that was sent by God. They further asked for signs to believe that Jesus was sent from God like their forefathers. Jesus explained the difference between the temporal relief which they had before and the lasting relief which He brought to them.

JESUS AS THE LIVING WATER
There came a woman of Samaria to draw water , Jesus said to her, “Give me a drink” For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. The Samaritan woman said to Him “How is it that you a Jew, ask me for a drink, a woman of Samaritans? Jesus answered her, if you knew the gift of God, and the one that is saying to you, “Give me a drink,” you would have asked him, and he would have given you a living water.” The woman further queried Jesus if He was greater than Jacob who gave them that well. In the end the woman submitted to Jesus and asked for the living water.
