Look to Jesus for Bread from Heaven (John 6: 24-35)

Twelfth Sunday After Pentecost, August 11, 2024

OUR THEME FOR TODAY—SPIRITUAL FOOD FOR THOSE FOCUSED ON THE EARTHLY

The best thing God gives us is his Son, the bread of life.

First Reading: Exodus 16:15-31. In sending manna, a bread that stayed fresh for a short time, the LORD not only cared for Israel’s physical well-being but also fortified trust that God would continue to provide.

Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:1-5, 11-13. The Israelites had spiritual food in the wilderness. The pre-incarnate Christ was with them! Yet some cared more about physical blessings than spiritual ones.

Gospel and Sermon Text: John 6:24-35. Look to Jesus for Bread from Heaven.
