Where Jesus Speaks – The Way, the Truth, and the Life

Day 2: From Full Bellies to Hungry Hearts

Scripture Focus: John 6:27–35

After exposing the crowd’s motives, Jesus doesn’t send them away—He teaches them.

“Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life.” (John 6:27)

The people are still thinking in earthly terms. They ask what works they must do. They even bring up Moses and the manna, still focused on bread.

But Jesus shifts the conversation from what God gives to who God sent.

“I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.” (John 6:35)

This is a turning point.

The miracle of the loaves fed their stomachs for a day.
Jesus offers Himself to feed their souls for eternity.

Here’s the truth Jesus reveals:
A full life does not come from full hands—it comes from a surrendered heart.

We live in a world chasing temporary satisfaction—money, success, comfort, applause—but Jesus reminds us that all of it perishes. Only He endures. Only He satisfies the deepest hunger inside us.

Bread fills you…
but Jesus fulfills you.

Today’s question cuts close to home:

👉 What am I feeding my soul with?

Because whatever we feed grows—and whatever we neglect starves.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, forgive us for chasing what fades and neglecting what lasts. Teach us to hunger for You above all else. Be our daily bread, our true satisfaction, and our everlasting life. Amen.
