"Break Now the Bread of Life” | Tenth Sunday After Pentecost

ZACHARY'S NOTES: 

Stanza 1 // Beyond the now popular stories and miracles of Jesus’ earthly life, this hymn is a prayer seeking Christ’s promise “beyond the sacred page” that we would know God as the Living Word today.

Stanza 2 // When Christ gives us His word of truth, we are both named sinners and named as God’s forgiven people forever. In this promise, we know God’s blessing not only in abundance, but in times of distress and call out to Him as our Lord.

Stanza 3 // Knowing Christ as the bread of life is to know Him as the one who rescues from all that binds us - our doubt, our fear, our questions about daily bread - and turns to Christ in faith as the One who gives all we need in this life and the next.
