Jesus gives the crowd the sign of bread as a way to place himself in the grand story of God’s plan of redemption. Jesus is the awaited Messiah and fulfillment of everything promised, previewed, and pointed to in the Old Testament.
The reassuring words of Jesus lovingly invite us to come to him to be satisfied. For Jesus has not only come to be the redeemer of our sin and the restorer of fallen creation. He has come to be our joy! And he has done so not just by bringing us what satisfies but being what satisfies.
Jesus is our savior but he is also our satisfier! For he alone knows what our hearts truly hunger for. And until we give up on our search for satisfaction in lesser things we will never be satisfied.
