    Physical bread can keep a person alive for a long time, but the body will still die. Jesus, on the other hand, is bread that gives everlasting life.

While some like meat and others don't, or some like vegetables and others don't, most people like bread. Bread is one of the few foods that can be tolerated by most ...read more
