John 6:48

is a powerful metaphor for what we need to survive in this life and in the
next. Jesus says in this passage “Do not work for the food which
perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life”… "I am the bread
of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will
never thirst.” Unfortunately,
we tend to hunger and work for food that perishes when we should hunger and
work for food that lasts forever. The
key question this morning is:
What are you hungry for?
