We need the Word of God

It's not enough just to meet our everyday physical needs--that will keep us physically alive, but won't nourish us spiritually. To experience spiritual life, we need the Word of God.

We eat bread to satisfy the emptiness within. Bread nourishes, empowers, and strengthens the body. When we eat bread it becomes part of us. Our bodies draw nutrients from the bread to feed us. Likewise, when we eat the Bread of Life we are strengthened by Him, nourished by His words, and empowered by His Holy Spirit.

Hunger and thirst symbolize something is missing. There is an emptiness inside which drives us to fill it. We can try filling it with possessions, power, money, friends, lust, family, but the only thing that will satisfy this hunger and thirst is Jesus Christ.
