STRENGTHENED BY THE BREAD OF LIFE

Today we resume the “Bread of Life” discourse from John’s Gospel that began two

weeks ago. He makes reference to the Jews’ ancestors who ate manna in the desert. These

days we would think primarily of Israel wandering in the desert, but faithful Jews would

also have known the story of Elijah that we hear today. Strengthened by food and drink in

the desert, the angel of the Lord sends him on his forty-day and forty-night journey (the

biblical number for a preparation time). Like the food given to Elijah in the desert, Jesus

tells his listeners that he is bread for the life of the world. It is very important that we not

stop listening to Jesus after his promise of eternal life—a marvelous promise, but this

“reward” is not the only reason we feast on the Bread of Life. We also come to the table to

be made strong for the journey of mission, that the whole world might have life in the

fullness of Christ. We are compelled, if we have eaten of the bread of life, to go forth in

service to all.

FORTALECIDOS POR EL PAN DE VIDA

Hoy retomamos el discurso sobre el “Pan de Vida” del Evangelio según san Juan que

comenzó hace dos semanas. Juan alude a los ancestros de los judíos que comieron el

maná en el desierto. Hoy pensaríamos sobre todo en el pueblo de Israel caminando por

el desierto, pero los judíos fieles también conocían el relato de Elías que escuchamos

hoy. Elías comió y bebió en el desierto, y con la fuerza de aquel alimento, el ángel del

Señor lo envió en su viaje de cuarenta días y cuarenta noches (la cifra bíblica que

simboliza un tiempo de preparación). De la misma manera que el alimento que recibió

Elías en el desierto, Jesús le dice a su público que él es pan para la vida del mundo. Es

muy importante que sigamos escuchando a Jesús después de su promesa de vida eterna,

sin duda es una promesa maravillosa, pero esta “recompensa” no es la única razón para

darnos un festín con el Pan de Vida. También vamos a la mesa con el fin de recibir

fuerzas para el camino de la misión, de manera que el mundo entero pueda tener vida

en la plenitud de Cristo. Si hemos comido el pan de vida, estamos obligados a servir a

todos.
