Spiritual Hunger

​

There is a spiritual hunger in every one of us just as real and needed as bodily hunger. When that is satisfied, it brings about spiritual strength and contentment. But when it is denied, it produces restlessness pain, and sometimes irrational behavior. Many people are familiar with the feeding of the 5000, an incredible miracle. This is the only miracle in all of the Bible with the exception of Jesus' resurrection, which is repeated in all four gospels. But do you know what happened immediately after the feeding of the 5000? Usually, it's overlooked, but that section that follows in John 6 is even more important. So, let's look at the feeding of the 5000 and then the discussion that follows that talks about food for the soul.

​

Jesus said, Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

John 10:35
