John 6:48

I am that bread of life. I AM THAT BREAD OF LIFE. This is repeated from , 'As he that believeth in Me hath everlasting life, so I am Myself the everlasting Sustenance of that life.'...

48._I am the bread of life _Besides what he formerly said, that he is the life-giving _bread, _by which our souls are nourished, in order to explain it more fully, he likewise repeats the contrast between this _bread _and the ancient manna, together with a comparison of the men....

47-51 The advantage of the manna was small, it only referred to this life; but the living Bread is so excellent, that the man who feedeth on it shall never die. This bread is Christ's human nature, which he took to present to the Father, as a sacrifice for the sins of the world; to purchase all things pertaining to life and godliness, for sinners of every nation, who repent and believe in him....

Verse 48. _I AM THAT BREAD OF LIFE._] I alone afford, by my _doctrine_ and _Spirit_, that _nourishment_ by which the soul is saved unto life eternal....

EXPOSITION JOHN 6:1 2. _Christ declares himself to be the Sustainer and Protector of the life of which he is the Source_. JOHN 6:1 (1) _The supply of human wants illustrated by a well known _"_sign_" _of power_. Chronological difficulties beset our treatment of this miraculous narrative with its varied consequences and results. Many curious and even violent measures have been resorted to with a view to solve them.
