DCLM Higher Everyday 29 April 2025 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Interviewing The Bread Of Life
Topic: Interviewing The Bread Of Life
Text: John 6:24-35
24When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
26Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
31Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
32Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
34Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
35And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Key Verse: “They said therefore unto him, What sign showest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? What dost thou work” (John 6:30)?
Message
Jesus had just multiplied bread to feed the multitude who had gathered to hear the word of God. As a result, they came back the next day hoping for more bread. Jesus understood their reason for seeking Him and He cautioned them against following Him just for material gains and pointed them to the Bread of Life which the Father gives. On realizing this, the multitude interviewed Jesus on three issues: 1. What they should do to work God’s work 2. The sign that He was showing to make them believe that God indeed sent Him and 3.The work or miracles that He was performing differently from what Moses did. He told them that all that God desired of them was to believe in Him whom God sent. He declared that He was the True Bread from heaven and not the manna that Moses gave them. Their doubts having been cleared, they exclaimed: “Lord, evermore give us this bread.”

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
