"He that cometh to Me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on Me shall never thirst.” With Jesus there is an abundance that never runs out, mercy that never runs dry, and forgiveness that can never be exhausted. When he fed the 5000, were there any that went hungry? When he turned water into wine, did anyone thirst? When anyone came to him asking for mercy, like the thief on the cross, did Jesus ever turn anyone away? He promises, “Him that cometh to Me, I will in no wise cast out.” “Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
To those who sorrow over their sins, these words are like bread to an empty stomach, and water to parched lips. “Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Jesus is the bread that nourishes us in a way that nothing else can. “If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever.” “The bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” Jesus gave his life on the cross for us all. He is the bread of life because he accomplished everything needful for us to be saved. Whoever believes in him will not perish, but have everlasting life.
