Bread that fills the soul

Haiku of life


He said, I am bread;

bread that fills the soul. Don’t thirst

or hunger, come!


The leaders complain:

How can he say these things, I

am bread from heaven?


God is doing this,

drawing folk to hear my words;

they shall know God’s life.


Open your eyes, ears,

to learn God’s truth, to receive

God’s life eternal.


Wilderness manna

from God fed hungry people;

but later they died.


Heaven’s living bread

gives eternal life. I am

the bread from heaven.


I am bread. I give

my body; a gift of life

for all humankind.
