Who in a million years would have ever thought I would be learning to make homemade bread? Inspired by a friend, I decided to give it a try. Can I tell you something? It has been so therapeutic for me and honestly I have felt like baking bread is helping me heal a bit. It has given me time to reflect and in doing so it got me to thinking a lot about Jesus. Did you know that bread is mentioned hundreds of times in scripture? Bread is physical nourishment for our bodies but Jesus is The Bread Of Life that feeds us spiritually. I am reminded of God’s goodness in The Lord’s Prayer and His provision for His people all through out scripture. Bread represents life, community and togetherness. In His brokenness it symbolized His forgiveness of our sins and the promise of eternity. Bread. Faith. Life

“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” (John 6:35 NLT)

“Our Father in heaven hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.” (Matthew 6:9-13 NIV)

“How many loaves do you have?” he asked. “Go and see.” (Mark 6:38 NIV)
