Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. John 6:35
It’s the season for barbecues—who can resist burgers on the grill, corn on the cob, potato salad, and a big slice of watermelon? I leave these friendly gatherings groaning about my overly full stomach and promising myself that I won’t eat for the rest of that day—or maybe for the rest of the week. But on Sunday we will hear words about a feast that is never ending—and we rejoice.
