—John 5:30-35
by: Leota Stevens.
The events leading up to this discussion between the Lord and the people of Galilee were filled with the miraculous. Thousands of men and women had their tummies filled when the Messiah increased the five barley loaves and two small fish from a child’s lunch into smorgasbord proportions. They pursued him so that he would feed them and quench their physical hunger. They were concentrating on their temporal bodies, when all the while they were standing in the presence of the Bread of Heaven, the only one truly able to meet the deepest need of their starving souls.
