Bethlehem
House of Bread.
Ephrata.
Fruitful.
Bethlehem was . . .
the place of Rachel's death and burial.
the place where Ruth gleaned for grain and met Boaz, her kinsman redeemer.
the place where David was born
and anointed.
And thus was remembered as "The City of David."
Hardly a city.
A backwoods, rural town.
But it was distinguished above every other hamlet as the birth-place of

We know it as the birthplace of Jesus.
The Bread of Life.
The Bread of Life - born in the House of Bread.
Bethlehem was the bread basket of Judah.
Now Jesus is the bread of the world.

Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But you haven’t believed in me even though you have seen me. However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them. For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will. And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day. For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day.” - John 6:35-40Are you hungry?
