When deciding whether to bite on the bread of life, ignore the vibes.

Good News Weekly Message

Every election season, candidates for office hope the perfect campaign slogan will win people’s votes. One leader, however, offers far more than slogans and is looking for far more than our vote. Jesus promises us that in him we find everything we need for this life and eternal life. He calls us to trust and follow him as our Savior and King. This week, Jesus campaigns for a crown by saying, “This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” With these words, Jesus reveals that the way he satisfies our hunger is not by giving us instruction or inspiration. It isn’t by winning earthly power, fame, or wealth and then sharing it with us. Instead, he came to win us life by offering himself to death. In the very same way, he promises us a life that doesn’t avoid the grave but that overcomes the grave.
