@@jimclark6493 Freddy J. did not answer you, which I regret, because I am curious, too. However, my *guess* is that he objects to hymns in which God/Christ is the speaker, rather than the Person being addressed or discussed. Most of this hymn is written in that manner. I have seen that objection raised by others in connection to either this hymn or some other hymn in which God/Christ is speaking in the first person, e.g., perhaps David Haas's "You Are Mine" or Sydney Carter's "Lord of the Dance." The use of the first person in this particular manner is, so far as I know, a recent innovation in traditional hymnody. So that's my guess. See also online essay "Songs With God in First Person" by Father Edward McNamara, LC for a discussion of this topic from a Roman Catholic viewpoint. (Father McNamara notes that hymns as we know them today were not originally part of the Mass; and that both some Gregorian chant and some antiphons quote Scripture in which God is speaking in the first person.)
This song brings me to tears and to my knees in prayer. Thank you for this song. I feel like I am in the presence of God when I hear this song. This song gives me hope and strength and filled with the power of God!
You are right, and I look forward to saying fuck you to the Lord Jesus Christ! Yes I do acknowledge that the Lord Jesus Christ the only Son of God was a sorry ass mother fucker, and yes it is a wonderful opportunity to pray with insults for what I hate in life!
@rheng soetam He IS man, but not "just" man. Orthodox Christianity (small "o", C. S. Lewis's "mere" Christianity,") whether Roman Catholicism, Protestantism or Orthodoxy (capital "O"), is adamant on the point that Jesus is fully human as well as fully God. A point you probably realize but have not expressed clearly. : )
I woke up singing this song the morning that we buried our 19 year old son who was killed in a automobile accident. Powerful song with a powerful message.
So sorry for your loss...I can't even imagine the pain you have experienced! May our God take that pain and may you feel his ever present love. God Bless my friend
I’m overwhelmed and humbled to tears after receiving the Eucharist, Jesus Body Blood, Soul and Divinity. How blessed I am. This song says it all. God is good all the time. And all the time God is good.
This Gospel will save anyone and people who are told to follow through and are directly being told and ministered to by the Holy Spirit and are recieving the Word of God and ministered to by Jesus Christ from God and the Blood always comes first.
Bless this place O Christ we pray and open here a door that no one can shut and grant that soon there will be one Church and one fold and one Shepherd.
The Gospel saves.We are going through the Gospel as before and God is telling me what I must do.And I want to Thank my Lord Jesus Christ and my Father God.
This song makes me fall back into Jesus' arms, knowing that it is only He who can satisfy me like no other and no human being can ever love me and satisfy my needs the way He does. A great reminder that at the end of the day, in every circumstance, He will raise me up. His body, blood and water is what nourished my soul. Whenever I feel betrayed, rejected, or lacking, it really him that I need most. He never fails us, that's why we can always count on him and not human beings. I love my faith ❤️
sapulene Jesus arms, the arms of our God of all comforts. No human satisfaction will ever fulfill us , only the resurrected life of our Divine Mercy will give us the grace of all graces ! Be patient , sapulene , lose not your hope or your faith and hold onto the everlasting hand of our dear Lord Jesus Christ who upholds his children and sustains the universe that he created by his word JESUS I TRUST IN YOU .. God bless.... Divine Mercy . ......David
sapulene Always remain confident in yourself and continue to move forward in life even when things get rough. God always gives you what you need to get through to the next day (but not necessarily what you may "want").
sapulene You hit it on the head, sister! That's what the Word of God is trying to shout out to us humans that only Jesus can ultimately satisfy. But our mouths are so full of junk satisfactions that we do not recognize the surpassing sweetness of the Lord. You are on the right trail after the Lord, girl! Keep searching. I am too. And many others are!!
This song puts tears in my eyes everytime I hear it, it was played at my Grandmas funeral, and less than a year later her husband, my Grandpas funeral, may they rest in peace forever , I miss them so much, I'm a total wreck now...
this song increases my faith as a catholic and draw me nearer and nearer to jesus christ, to the body and blood of christ. my tears is always uncontrolable each time this song is rised during communion.
believing in His death and resurrection for our salvation. Only faith in His sacrificial death and resurrection from the grave saves us. For we are saved by God's unmerited favor (grace) through faith. The Holy Spirit indwells the believer enabling to live a Christlike life and to make His word understandable. The believe "feeds" on the Bread of Life daily and is sustained....we walk by faith.
The most beautiful song in my opinion. This was played at my father's funeral during communion and every time I hear this song, I think of him. Love this song and Jesus ❤️
All praise and honour and glory to you Lord Jesus Christ! Merciful Lord, heal my brother Kevin from a tear in his heart valve. And grant my niece her visa to the U.K. in time. Thank you Lord!
Thank you Sister Toolan I attended high school at a Catholic school and feel very blessed having been able to keep in contact for years with the nuns that taught me God bless them and you always 🙏🙏🙏
The grace of God leading me and his Spirit to what God is ttelling me I am the Bread of Life that is directly from Jesus Christ come to me and I will give you the Word.The Spirit the Bread of Life and Jesus Christ who is the Bread of Life.
I knew the Lord was speaking to me because when you have been born again the Holy Spirit is insight and leads guides and directs us to the Word.And the Lord reveals the Word.
Wonderfully performed and sung. "I am the bread of life.." This piece is very moving and biblical. God will certainly raise us up on the last day. Those who have repented of their sins, placed their faith in Jesus Christ for remission of sins. What a glorious thoughtHampton Va.
Thank you very much for your caring, it is 07.30am on sat, and prayers are really needed for the people of France in Nice, where there has been an appalling tragedy where a terrorist has ploughed a lorry into the crowds celebrating Bastille Day. There has also been a military coup in Turkey, so many prayers will be needed for these awful events.
You are in our prayers too.....from Hungary, we need all the prayers as well..to have the courage, wisdom to act in the best interest of our homeland and people .
I've lost my singing voice, but like so many of you have posted, this makes me love my faith even more...and like Connie Wolff, this song makes tears of happiness, hope flow!
My remembrance of this hymn is different. When I attended Catholic school in the 60 early 70's. It was called I Am the Resurrrection. It began I am the resurrection, I am the bread of life>>>
God bless fr Emanuel Johnson my interpretation of a living Saint you gave so much to the people of the US and Liberia every time I hear this hymn I think of you when you walked this earth you were a living Saint. God bless you
Thank u for this gospel song , that my favorite gospel song ever n l cannot forget that , give lot of help when i am not in the Phil. I survived with that music for so many years for 27 years , full of memory n unforgetable for me, very strong too n i fullfill my own mission for my self . Thank so much Jesus Amen !!!!
Don't forget to repent of your sins, if you there is no repentance in your life, than you are in hell burning unless you repent and believe in Jesus! Amen
For what is in the Bible is the Word of God and the Spirit.And what is in me is the Word of God and the Spirit.And what comes down from above is the Word of God and the Spirit.
"Truly truly I say to you whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, he does not come into judgement but but has passed from death to life." John 5:24. "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 If you are reading this please give your life to Christ he is gracious and merciful and we are all sinners no matter how great our sin. He cares about us, He sent Jesus to die for our sins to save us from his wrath and eternal damnation.
The Gospel according to John, Chapter 6: 47 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; 50 this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”a 52 The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?” 53 Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. 54 Whoever eats* my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.” 59 These things he said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. ~~~Notes: * [6:54-58] "Eats": the verb used in these verses is not the classical Greek verb used of human eating, but that of animal eating: “munch,” “gnaw.” This may be part of John’s emphasis on the reality of the flesh and blood of Jesus (cf. Jn 6:55)... The following verses recount how many of his disciples left him because they could not accept the commandment to eat his flesh and drink his blood. They understood that he was not speaking figuratively. They believed he sincerely meant that his followers would literally have to eat his flesh and drink his blood in order to have eternal life. More importantly, he did not correct their understanding. In the Gospels, when his disciples misunderstand his teaching, Jesus corrects them. If he does not correct them, it means he knows they understand. They are always free to leave him if they don't like his teaching, but he never bends the truth to please his listeners.~~~ 60 Then many of his disciples who were listening said, “This saying is hard; who can accept it?” 61 Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, “Does this shock you? 62 What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?* 63 It is the [supernatural] spirit that gives life, while the [natural] flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. [Affirming that those who follow him must literally eat his flesh and drink his blood.] 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him. 65 And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.” 66 As a result of this, many [of] his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. [He did not correct their understanding that he was telling them they must eat his literal flesh and drink his literal blood. If he didn't mean it literally, he would have taken the time to correct their understanding rather than allow them to be led astray.] 67 Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?” 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.” 70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you twelve? Yet is not one of you a devil?” 71 He was referring to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot; it was he who would betray him, one of the Twelve.
***** Do you think Scripture is to be read in isolated, unconnected bits and pieces? Don't you think that later passages clarify earlier ones? More importantly: Do you realize this passage is the only one that says His disciples left Him? The only ones who remained with Him were the Twelve. Read the Gospels again, look for the times Jesus clarified misunderstandings by using a different comparison, different figures of speech. He doesn't do that here. In this passage, He continues to reinforce what He said by using even more forceful descriptions of what we must do. That's why His disciples couldn't take it any more -- they, like you, couldn't wrap their heads around eating His flesh and drinking His blood.
If you'd like to see translations of the words in the bible and what they really mean you could go onto "blue letter bible.com". because some words in the bible has many meanings. also check out carm.org or grace to you.com for answers to your questions
***** There's no meaning being "read into" the text -- the text is literal. I explained how John defined it. You're obviously prejudiced against tradition, but the interpretation you give is a tradition (taught, or handed down by a previous generation)... unless you've come up with an original interpretation all on your own.
Lynn Constable carm is an unreliable source -- they make unsupported, truly bigoted claims about religions they don't like...not just my own Faith, but other religions that I believe are in error. That's important because if there are errors in a religion, then those errors must be pointed out with truth, not (as carm does) with lies piled onto the truth, or sometimes, lies piled onto misreasoned descriptions of the error. There are much better sources for translations of the original languages of Scripture, not necessarily religious-based ones that distort things to present a biased interpretation (like carm does).
4 years ago my mother closed her loving eyes for the last time. She requested this hymn.

Makes sense, Vatican 2 heresy. The hymn is heretical.

Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
TEX-DOC: As an Anglican charismatic protestant, a baptized believer, i love this hymn !!!
Unfortunately Protestants do not eat of His flesh, nor drink of His blood. One day, hopefully.
I’m overwhelmed and humbled to tears after receiving the Eucharist, Jesus Body Blood, Soul and Divinity. How blessed I am. This song says it all.
God is good all the time. And all the time God is good.
@User- J’ai suis d’accord avec vous, Jesu est notre vida
Oh may I ponder more on these things instead of the distractions of this world ! His truth shall set me free.

This is the most important part of scripture! We played this at my Mom’s funeral. I love it dearly.
I chose if for the Consecration at my father’s funeral as well.
I am preaching on "I am the Bread of Life" in 2 hours time and we will be singing this as our closing hymn. May it bring many to the Lord.

We sang this in my Episcopal church this past Sunday after communion and it was so spiritually moving that tears did flow! Thank you LORD Jesus!

"Truly truly I say to you whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, he does not come into judgement but but has passed from death to life." John 5:24.
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 If you are reading this please give your life to Christ he is gracious and merciful and we are all sinners no matter how great our sin. He cares about us, He sent Jesus to die for our sins to save us from his wrath and eternal damnation.
The Gospel according to John, Chapter 6:
47
Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.
48
I am the bread of life.
49
Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;
50
this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die.
51
I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”a
52
The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us [his] flesh to eat?”
53
Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.
54
Whoever eats* my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.
55
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
56
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
57
Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.
58
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”
59
These things he said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

They understood that he was not speaking figuratively. They believed he sincerely meant that his followers would literally have to eat his flesh and drink his blood in order to have eternal life. More importantly, he did not correct their understanding. In the Gospels, when his disciples misunderstand his teaching, Jesus corrects them. If he does not correct them, it means he knows they understand. They are always free to leave him if they don't like his teaching, but he never bends the truth to please his listeners.~~~

Then many of his disciples who were listening said, “This saying is hard; who can accept it?”
61
Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, “Does this shock you?
62
What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?*
63
It is the [supernatural] spirit that gives life, while the [natural] flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. [Affirming that those who follow him must literally eat his flesh and drink his blood.]
64
But there are some of you who do not believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him.
65
And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.”
66
As a result of this, many [of] his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him. [He did not correct their understanding that he was telling them they must eat his literal flesh and drink his literal blood. If he didn't mean it literally, he would have taken the time to correct their understanding rather than allow them to be led astray.]
67
Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?”
68
Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
69
We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”
70
Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you twelve? Yet is not one of you a devil?”
71
He was referring to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot; it was he who would betray him, one of the Twelve.
***** Do you think Scripture is to be read in isolated, unconnected bits and pieces? Don't you think that later passages clarify earlier ones? More importantly: Do you realize this passage is the only one that says His disciples left Him? The only ones who remained with Him were the Twelve. Read the Gospels again, look for the times Jesus clarified misunderstandings by using a different comparison, different figures of speech. He doesn't do that here. In this passage, He continues to reinforce what He said by using even more forceful descriptions of what we must do. That's why His disciples couldn't take it any more -- they, like you, couldn't wrap their heads around eating His flesh and drinking His blood.

***** There's no meaning being "read into" the text -- the text is literal. I explained how John defined it. You're obviously prejudiced against tradition, but the interpretation you give is a tradition (taught, or handed down by a previous generation)... unless you've come up with an original interpretation all on your own.
Lynn Constable carm is an unreliable source -- they make unsupported, truly bigoted claims about religions they don't like...not just my own Faith, but other religions that I believe are in error. That's important because if there are errors in a religion, then those errors must be pointed out with truth, not (as carm does) with lies piled onto the truth, or sometimes, lies piled onto misreasoned descriptions of the error. There are much better sources for translations of the original languages of Scripture, not necessarily religious-based ones that distort things to present a biased interpretation (like carm does).
