Daily Walk Through the New Testament

August 28

Read John 12:1-26

During the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Jews stop to thank God for giving them food from the earth. They thank Him for the wheat and barley that produced the bread. They also pray, “Give us life out of the earth, the grain and the harvest we need in order to live.” At sundown on the day Jesus died on the cross for our sins, the Feast of Unleavened Bread began. As people were praying their prayer of thanks, the Bread of Life was on the cross. Prior to His death, Jesus sad, “Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain” John 12:24).
Jesus was killed and planted into the ground, but He would soon rise from the grave, giving life to all those who put their trust in Him and taste His goodness. Let the way you live show that you’ve received the Bread of Life, and give Him thanks!
