*Jesus: *"I am the living bread"*

In this video, titled * Jesus: “I am the living bread" by Arpana Trust, Param Pujya Ma explores the spiritual significance of Jesus' declaration "I am the living bread" from the Gospel of John.
🌟 Summary
1. Opening Context
• Mr. Loic Fave asks Param Pujya Ma about a verse from the Bible:
“I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If any man eats of this bread, he shall live forever. And the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
2. Meaning of the Living Bread
• Bread symbolizes divine sustenance and eternal life.
• Eating this bread means partaking in Christ’s essence, which is eternal and universal.
• It represents the energy and breath of life that sustains all beings.
3. Prayer and Gratitude
• Ma connects the verse to a daily prayer before meals, at the Arpana Ashram, acknowledging food as sacred and offered by the Divine.
• The Ashram prayer asks for health and strength to serve the Master, showing that nourishment is both physical and spiritual.
4. Christ’s Sacrifice
• Jesus gave his life for humanity, symbolized by offering his flesh as bread.
• Even those who betrayed him later became saints, remembered through the Bible.
• His crucifixion is seen as humanity partaking of his flesh unknowingly, fulfilling prophecy.
5. Jesus as a Jew
• Ma emphasizes that *Jesus was a Jew, and Christianity did not exist during his lifetime*.
• He did not reject Judaism but sought to protect and uplift it.
• Christianity emerged only after his death, as people interpreted his miracles differently.
6. Ego and True Faith
• Ma critiques the ego that prevents people from truly living Christ’s teachings.
• True discipleship requires surrendering ego and identity, becoming “Christ-like.”
• Few achieve this state, as it is difficult to transcend personal selfhood.
7. Living Bread as Eternal Presence
• Jesus is described as joy itself, the living bread that sustains all hearts.
• He lived humbly, never seeking worldly crowns or kingship, but instead inspiring others.
• His presence continues eternally in the hearts of believers.
8. Final Message
• To eat of this bread is to serve the Master and live forever in spiritual truth.
• Becoming Christ-like is the ultimate goal, though very difficult.
• His flesh and sacrifice symbolize the path to eternal life and freedom from sin.
✨ Key Takeaways
• Bread = Divine sustenance and eternal life.
• Prayer before meals = recognition of God’s gift.
• Christ’s sacrifice = offering himself for humanity’s salvation.
• True discipleship = surrendering ego and becoming Christ-like.
• Jesus as Jew = rooted in Judaism, not rejection but fulfilment.
