Growing up my brother would essentially only eat meat, pasta, and bread all day and every day. My mother would always say to him, "Man cannot live on bread alone" at the dinner table but of course he continues his carbs only diet still to this day.
Bread truly is a staple and a building block of a diet. It is not some addition thrown into a meal as an afterthought or a dessert you indulge in from time to time. It is part of a main course that is relied upon to give you sustenance and strength throughout the day. It is what gives us the power to get through the day and rest in the evening. God's love satisfies our hunger and gives us an appetite for more. We begin to crave and rely upon the nourishment He provides and seek to always consume more.
Also on a completely unrelated note, I got a huge smile on my face when I read "If Jesus was a teacher, He would win teacher of the year... every year." He is the teacher that makes you excited to learn and a feel thirst for knowledge. His bread of life fills satisfies our hunger and his teachings make us thirst for more.
Can't wait to see you all in a few weeks!
