By killing the Bread of Life, they tried to eliminate our source of life, our sustenance, our nutrition – the key to our spiritual growth.
They tried to ensure that everyone loved darkness by extinguishing the Light which revealed the truth of the darkness and the Way out of it.
They tried to crush the Door that protects the sheep from their enemy.
They tried to promote themselves as shepherds when they were only thieves, wolves and hired hands whose goal was to steal, kill and destroy the Good Shepherd’s flock.
They tried to terminate the Way, black out the Truth and end the Life.
They tried to uproot the Vine so the branches would also wither and die.
The I AM subjected Himself to this effort because of love. Because He knew something about Himself that no one else had grasped.
He IS the Resurrection and the Life.
Ultimately, He cannot be eliminated, extinguished, stolen from, murdered, destroyed, terminated, blacked out, ended or uprooted.
He IS alive and because He lives and has been raised up, so are we who believe into the Great I AM.
