Tense

When Darrell started talking toward the end of the chapter about the tense of words that is lacking in the english translations I begin to think... HOW MUCH ARE WE MISSING?

The tense of the verbs "come" and "believe"- that is what gives. In the Greek they are in the present tense, which emphasizes continual action: "keep on." Jesus is saying "keep coming" and "keep believing." Whoever keeps on coming will never hunger.  Whoever keeps on believing will never thirst. (DJ 62-63)

That is the void that can only be daily quenched by Him.  It's obvious... I NEED more of Him, to eat of His bread daily, minutely, secondly... it doesn't stop.  I need more of this bread...

God keeps giving the bread, He didn't just give it, He keeps giving it.

Oh I loved the I AM statements ...
Jesus I am statements p. 53
Bread of life
Light of the world
Good Shepherd
Resurrection and the Life
Way, Truth and the Life
True Vine

Thanks Father for sacrificing your Son, not so that He could give the Bread, but to Keep giving!
