2009 New Bread

Bread of Tomorrow
This feast is normally just like the great Holiday of Thanksgiving, because we should say thanks to God for the bread of the actual year, and actually after the period of harvesting the wheat, milling it, and making the first new baked loaves.
Thus in everyday life`s meaning this celebration is there for the God given fertile fields, for the gifts by which God blesses us, and nourishes us.
Nevertheless just whatever Our Lord Jesus Christ did, it was always parabolic and prophetical using mostly an everyday story or weekday acting to teach us something deeper.
Something beyond the literal or even the material meaning, as it is written, that not the invisible was created from the visible, but the visible was created from the invisible.
So the disciples asked him to teach them to pray as John the Baptist taught his students to pray.
Thus Jesus revealed them the Prayer of Prayers. In his prayer he is mentioning the daily bread.
However the original Greek text could be translated also on that way that we should mean that our Father, give us today the bread of tomorrow.
A bread which is not yet provided, only hoped.
Apostle Paul insisted that the faith is nothing else but the reality of the hoped things regarding the very promises of God. So the bread of tomorrow in this way is the bread of the faith.
That is why it is so meaningful what our Lord says: I am the Bread of the Life descended from Heaven.
A harvest is a harvest, worthy enough in itself to give thanks to God.
But focusing on the bread, this celebration should aim also at the deeper meaning of the Word.
Because the time is here again to recall and remember the spirituality, which is integrated in the symbol of the bread, as it is written in the Book of the Preacher:
there is preordered, predestinated time of every event occuring on the surface of the Earth under the sky.
Thus this Holiday is the ordered time to recall, remember and celebrate the Bread of Tomorrow together with the daily Bread which became beyond its nutrition factor, a symbol of the Heavenly Bread, who is our Lord Jesus Christ, whose body is being broken for You.
Take it and eat it with thanskgiving hearts, as it is written: eat your bread with Thanksgiving, today, tomorrow, and for ever. Amen.
