As Jesus is the cornerstone upon which the Church is built, so are his teachings the unifying cornerstone of Christian doctrine.

Let Go

One of life’s greatest lessons is simply letting go. We let go of family members, friends and if a marriage lasts a lifetime, one partner usually dies before the other. We also make many mistakes in life, develop a few bad habits or have anger issues that we must let go of. Eventually, we must all let go of our own lives, as we face the ultimate end. So, when Jesus described himself as the true bread in John 6:24-35, he was explaining something which we need to grasp rather than let go. We find it hard to let go, and food is one of the hardest things to give up. As we eat delicious foods it is good to remember that we must eventually let go of even that and grab hold of the true bread of life.
