Shortly after feeding five thousand people with one boy’s lunch, Jesus identifies himself as “the bread of life.” He says this in response to a request to repeat the miracle a second time. The point: Jesus offers a kind of nourishment that goes beyond physical, bodily needs… He is the object of our deep hunger and only after being reconciled through Him are we eternally satisfied.
