What did Jesus mean when He said, “I am the bread of life”? This was significant to the Jews because it was a reminder of what God did for them in Moses’ day. Two breads are discussed in the Old Testament that portray Jesus as the “Bread of Life”— manna and the temple showbread. Grab your Bible and let’s look at the portrait of Christ we see in the bread.

Read MoreThe easy answer is yes, Jesus is the Son of God, but at the same time, Jesus is God. We need to understand when answering this question that the Bible describes God for us in a way that we can grasp. Can we fully understand God? No. To fully understand God would be to put us on the same level as He is. We are in no way on the same level as God; Scripture makes that clear. Isaiah 55:9 says, “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” However, relationships and family order are things we can grasp and understand, and God has used those things to reveal Himself to us.

After His death on the cross, Jesus really, truly came back to life. This is not some sort of myth or symbol. Jesus physically rose from the dead and many people saw Him and touched Him.
Read MoreIn Scripture, we discover that Jesus’ death was no accident. He was not the victim of circumstances beyond His control. Rather, Jesus intentionally laid His life down to save His people from their sins.
Read MoreJesus lived a sinless life, died on the cross, rose again, and ascended to Heaven. He performed miracles, He healed the sick, and He spent most of His time with the poor, outcasts, and those considered to be particularly sinful, such as tax collectors and prostitutes.
Read MoreJesus is important for so many reasons. First and foremost, Jesus is important because He has made it possible for us to be made right in our relationship with God.
