The document is about the Bible and what Jesus meant when he said "I am the bread of life" and "living water". It provides context that bread was the principal food in Palestine and was made from whole grains. It then explains that Jesus' words were used to help people understand what he could do for them. His words give spiritual strength like food nourishes physically, but only if you accept them, and his words quench spiritual thirst like water satisfies physical thirst.

DATE MESSAGE

3.  If you make the Most High your dwelling-- even the
LORD, who is my refuge-- then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent. For he will
command his angels concerning you to guard you in all
your ways; they will lift you up in their hands, so that
you will not strike your foot against a stone. You will
tread upon the lion and the cobra; you will trample the
great lion and the serpent. "Because he loves me," says
the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he
acknowledges my name. He will call upon me, and I will
answer him;
I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor
him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him my
salvation."
Psalm 91:9-16

8. Jesus once said,
“I am the bread and the
water of life. He who comes
to me will never go hungry
and thirst.”
what do you think He
meant?

16.  Bread was the principal article of food in Palestine. Other
items, such as flesh foods, fruits, and vegetables, took a
secondary place
SDA bible dictionary, p. 162
 The bread of the ancient Egyptians and Israelites was
good for them, since they used the whole grain of the
wheat or barley. The bread of those times was not refined
like the white bread eaten today in modern cultures
The Book of Life. V. Gilbert Beers : Zondervan, 1980.
vol.3. p. 94
 Thousands of years ago, and Israelite began his meal by
raising the bread in his hands and speaking the ancient
blessing: ‘Blessed art Thou, O Lord our God, who has
brought us this bread….Only then did the meal begin.
Pious Jews do much the same thing today
Ibid, vol. 3.p.96

17. THE BREAD OF LIFE. LIVING
WATER
 These word are used to help you understand
what He can do for you.
 His words are like good food to anyone who is
“hungry” to listen to them. Just as food
cannot do you any good unless you eat it, so
God’s words cannot give you spiritual
strength unless you read and accept them.
 Water cannot satisfy your thirst unless you
drink it. The words of God are like sparkling
cold water for people who are “thirsty” to
know more about Him.
