Time to eat…

Mothers call the family to the table; a few might even ring a dinner bell. Ranch cooks have called hands from the bunk house by ringing a big triangle.

Pet owners call their dogs and cats after filling the food and water dishes. If fed canned foods, animals often come running at the sound of an electric can opener.

Cattle are accustomed to the sound of the owner’s pickup truck engine. Hungry, they make their way to the gate awaiting their food. It might surprise you to learn that catfish have a similar reaction.

A Texas friend had a large fish pond (Texans call them tanks). He said the catfish swam to the surface for their feeding at the sound of his truck approaching. Jesus is calling. Are you hungry? He has the bread of life.

“Jesus then said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.’ They said to him, ‘Sir, give us this bread always.’

Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst (John 6:32-35 ESV).”
