“ And the name Bethlehem means “the house of God’s Bread.” Now, how fitting that is to Jesus, the Bread of Eternal Life. Christ is the Bread of Life. We all believe that, don’t we? How fitting Bethlehem there, the bread center of the world, was the bread center of Eternal Life. That’s why the King had to be born there. He said, in Saint John 6:35, “I am the Bread of Life that come from God out of Heaven. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and all dead. But this Bread, if a man eats this Bread, he shall live forever.” Then, Jesus is the Bread of Life, so the Bread of Life had to come at Bethlehem. He is our Bread of Life for the journey, like Israel. God gave Israel bread out of the skies, for their journey, as they journeyed from where they left Egypt unto the promised land. Bread, nightly, rained down from the skies. And God gave us the Bread of Life for our journey, come at Bethlehem, God’s house of Bread. See how it had to be? It must be where that name is called, Bethlehem, “the house of God’s Bread.” Then how could He be born in Jerusalem? How could He be born in Ramoth-Gilead? See, He come to where His Name was, “house of God’s Bread. ”
