For lack of bread - A Seasonal Thought."

"O come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem..." Why would anyone want to come to or from a town called Bethlehem? Bethlehem is a Palestinian city located in the central West Bank, about 10 kilometers south of Jerusalem. Its population is  approximately 25,000 people. It is the capital of the Bethlehem Governorate. The economy is primarily tourist-driven. This is the modern day “House of Gread.”

The “House of bread; the city of David; the birthplace of Christ.” A city of internal struggle and strife for Millennia. Who would want to come to “Bethlehem?” “Why would anyone want to come to “Bethlehem?”

BREAD! A pure and simple answer. In Bethlehem was where the “Bread of life was first brought into the world.. ( Jn 6:33, Jn 6:34, 6:48 ) 

A fight for bread! A battle for bread! A war for bread! The reason for the season, is not land, money, or any other material gain. It is a war over “the BREAD of life.”

He who came and went. Bled and died. He who Rose again the third day! That is why there is conflict, confusion and turmoil throughout the world. It is a lack of that “living BREAD!”

"I am the bread of life."
