The circumstances of life have a way of robbing us of joy. Disappointment, frustration, and loss can suck the very life from us; however, Jesus’s birth reminds us that, no matter how hard life is, we don’t have to go through it alone. God has come to us full of grace and truth, and that should bring us joy. We can trust that Jesus’s presence with us will reveal the truth about our lives and at the same time offer us the grace to see things change.

Jesus’ claim that He is the Bread of Life and that the way to eternal life comes by Him were not what the crowd wanted to hear. They rebelled against Him and His claims. They felt they already knew who Jesus was.
