Bread is considered one if not the oldest man-made foods.
It is one of the only foods that is eaten by people of every race, region and culture.
Breaking bread is a universal sign of peace.
“The word “companion” comes from the Latin “cum” (“together”) and “panis” (“bread”).”
Tim Chester, A Meal with Jesus
Bread appears 360 times in the Bible.
It appears 280 times in the Old Testament and 80 times in the New Testament.

Who is Jesus to me?
Jesus is the Word made Flesh.
Jesus is the Bread of Life.
Jesus is the Victim offered for our sins on the cross …
Jesus is the Word – to be spoken. Jesus is the Truth – to be told.
Jesus is the Way – to be walked. Jesus is the Light – to be lit.
Jesus is the Life – to be lived. Jesus is the Love – to be loved.
Mother Teresa
The normal Christian life is a life of regular, daily answer to prayer.
In the model prayer Jesus taught His disciples to pray daily for bread, and expect to get it,
and to ask daily for forgiveness, for deliverance from the evil one, and for other needs,
and daily to get the answers they sought. John R. Rice

Jesus said, “Give us THIS DAY our daily bread”,
knowing that you cannot fight today’s battles with yesterday’s bread.
Knowing that you cannot fight today’s battles with the hope of tomorrow’s bread.
Knowing that today you will be nourished by this daily bread,
and it’s what you have to fight today’s battle.
Steve Maraboli
Jesus is hungry but feeds others;
He grows weary but offers others rest;
He is the King Messiah but pays tribute;
He is called the devil but casts out demons;
He dies the death of a sinner but comes to save His people from their sins;
He is sold for thirty pieces of silver but gives His life a ransom for many;
He will not turn stones to bread for Himself but gives His own body as bread for people.
D. A. Carson
Taste and see that the Lord is good.
How blessed is the one who takes shelter in him.
Psalm 34:8 New English Translation
