Gospel Thread - NT:
I am the bread of life.
John 6:48 (NIV)
This sometimes-difficult passage is summed up in these six words. Jesus explains the spiritual and symbolic meaning of this passage at the last supper, when He institutes the sacrament of communion: the bread and wine symbolize Jesus' body and blood - the body broken to bear the wrath that was due for man's sin, and the blood that was shed as the sacrifice for sin.
Gospel Thread - Psalms/Proverbs:
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say this—those he redeemed from the hand of the foePsalm 107:1-2 (NIV)
Indeed, God has redeemed us from the hand of our foe: both from sin and from Satan himself. Our response to this truth should be one of eternal thankfulness and gratitude. May we always set our thoughts on the eternal love of our Lord, and respond in kind with our own love and gratitude.
