Jesus, the Bread of Life

This is the first of my study regarding Jesus Christ.  I plan to look up all the references to Christ in the topical guide, as suggested by President Russell M. Nelson.  I think this will take me quite a bit of time so I might as well get started.

Bread of Life

Scriptures that refer to Jesus as the Bread of Life:

John 6:35
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

John 6:51
 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. 

There was a reference to Revelations where it talks about Jesus representing the Manna from Heaven.

I also think about the bread of life referring to the sacrament, where we eat a piece of bread that represents Jesus' broken body.  In thinking about the pieces of manna that the children of Israel ate on a daily basis, and the sacrament that we partake of weekly, it makes me think of how Jesus wants us to try to be like Him every day.   So when we partake of the sacrament, we take a little piece of bread and try to be more like Him.  It reminds me of the scripture "line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little".  Jesus doesn't expect us to become perfect all at once but a little at a time. He becomes part of us a little more everyday, until, one day in the distant future, we will be like Him.
