The Bread of Life: A Hymn Bible Study

This hymn Bible study traces "Break Thou the Bread of Life" back to its two clearest scripture roots: the table of showbread in the sanctuary, and Jesus' own words in John 6, "I am the bread of life." It's a rich scripture behind the hymn episode about what it means to truly feed on God's Word.

We look at how the Reformers — Wycliffe, Luther, and others — risked persecution and death to put Scripture into the hands of ordinary people, and connect that history to the hymn's plea for more than casual reading: a spiritual "eating" of the Word that sustains and transforms.

In this episode, you will hear:

• What the table of showbread in the sanctuary represents
• Jesus' words "I am the bread of life" from John 6
• The Reformers' fight to restore Scripture to ordinary believers
• Why simply reading the Bible isn't the same as feeding on it
