It happened when I was attending a meeting in Chicago, an important gathering of the Council of Bishops of The United Methodist Church. The staff served us a delicious and abundant buffet meal.

One thing was missing; there was no bread at the serving station. For me, without the bread...

Help me, O God, to represent the Bread of Life in a brittle and hard world. Amen.

Resumen de la Escritura

David thinks he has gotten away with his sins, but God sends Nathan to tell David a story. The story angers David, but Nathan reveals that the story is really about David’s own behavior. Indeed, it can be tempting to condemn others’ sin, while we justify our own. Psalm 51 is David’s appeal to God for forgiveness and restoration. If we want to please God in our own lives, what does this look like? Ephesians tells us that the signs of a redeemed life include humility, love, patience, and building up one another (the opposite of what David displayed). In John, Jesus has crowds following him because they want a free meal. The lasting nourishment they truly need, Jesus teaches, comes through believing that God has sent him.
