Beloved children of God in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The Bible says in the Gospel of John 6:35, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.”
As you all know, today is Maundy Thursday. On this day, before Jesus Christ faced pain and suffering, He gathered His disciples in the upper room. He humbled Himself and washed their feet — an act of deep love and service. Before His suffering began, He spent precious time with them. That night, He took bread, broke it, and said, “This is My body, the new covenant. Eat this in remembrance of Me.” He was symbolically saying, “Tomorrow My body will be broken and torn apart. Remember this forever.” He gave them the bread as His own body — food for their souls and a lasting remembrance of His sacrifice.
Then, He took the cup, blessed it, and said, “This is My blood, the blood of the new covenant, which will be shed for you.” He asked them to drink it in remembrance of His death and resurrection. This moment was sacred — a covenant, a powerful symbol of love and sacrifice.
After this, Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray, where He was arrested. This was the beginning of His suffering and crucifixion. But before facing the cross, He knelt down and washed the feet of His beloved disciples — though He was worthy to be served, He chose to serve. He gave us His body and blood to eat and drink, so that we may never hunger or thirst again. “I am the Bread of Life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger.” Are you hungry today? Are you in a place of despair or lack? Come to the Lord. He is the only one who can give you a job, feed your hunger, and open doors of provision.
The Scripture says,
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above.”
Do you lack food? Clothes? A home? Do not be discouraged.
The Lord says, “Come to Me. I will provide. I am the Bread of Life.” He is the one who will make a way for income, for food, for every need in your life.
Even if you are spiritually thirsty — longing for anointing, power, holiness, and spiritual gifts — the Lord will fill you. He will satisfy your thirst and feed your soul.
Testimony:
Sister Dorothy from KGF, Karnataka, “My daughter and son-in-law had been living separately, and this caused great sorrow in our family. During this difficult time, we watched Brother Stephen’s sermon on the Beloved’s Voice program on TV. With tears, we joined in prayer as a family. Later, we also participated in the Anbarin Paathathil Fasting Meeting, and at the end, Brother Stephen prayed for my daughter. After that prayer, something miraculous happened — my son-in-law came back and took my daughter home. Now, they are living together in peace and harmony.” For many days they were separated. But through prayer and faith, the Lord restored their relationship. Such miracles will happen in your family too.
Prayer:
Loving Lord, we thank You. In Jesus’ name, I bless these children. You are the Bread of Life. You gave Your body to be broken for us, and Your blood to be shed for our salvation. You said, “The one who comes to Me will never hunger or thirst.” Thank You for that promise. Lord, for those who are hungry — both spiritually and physically — arise, Holy Spirit, and meet every need. Quench their thirst. Fill them with Your anointing. Provide jobs, food, clothing, and shelter. Do great things in their lives, Lord. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
