He Gave Them Bread from Heaven to Eat

The lectionary text from April 8, 2008   Acts 7:51-8:1a | Psalm 31 | John 6:30-35

Sometimes you shout the truth and the people you’re trying to save start to stone you. The truth, we are learning, will set you free – free to participate in Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. Free to follow Stephen. Easter is less than a month past and already we are hearing of Stephen being stoned to death. Stoned to death.

Sometimes you weep and get angry at the shouting that goes against everything you hold dear. You just want to cover your ears and scream, “Stop!” But listen a little closer. What are you closing your ears to? Though it may be painful maybe we don’t ever cover our ears to the anger and the hurt that causes people to shout, to rush at us and drag us away. Hunger and thirst can drive a person crazy and we stand with the bread of life, the bread from heaven. We commit our soul to the Lord and then with open ears and open hands we listen and offer food from heaven. When we submit to God, when we take the bread and the wine, what we will become of us is not up to us.
