One of the most popular visual representations of Jesus in the early years of the Christian movement was the feeding of the multitude. Long before Christians portrayed Christ crucified they showed him breaking bread. Some suggest that this reflects the context of the first Christians as urban poor people for whom bread was a daily concern. Perhaps it is also a reflection of a fundamental reality for early Christians: Jesus and bread, eating and feeding, table fellowship and faith, food and life — these things go together.

Because of these words many permanently turned away from Jesus after initially being drawn to Him “for bread”. Peter wondered if there was any real alternative when he asked, “to whom shall we go?” What would cause you to turn away from Jesus? Hard sayings? Disappointment? Can’t see how faith works?

Today I ask you the question—where are you saying NO and where are you saying YES? Can you imagine saying NO to some good things to say YES to better things? And, to whom will you go, if not Jesus? Not the easiest of questions, but who wants to come to church to be bored?

There could not be a greater contrast between Nicodemus’ encounter with Jesus last week, and that of the Samaritan woman today. The first takes place in the dark of night, with Jesus and an educated Jewish man discussing the finer points of the Torah. Another takes place at high noon with Jesus asking a female outsider for a drink of water.
What strikes me about both these scenes is that we see the same Jesus in both: a God who engages us where we are at; a God who sees who we really are and loves us; a God who invites us to change in response to truth.

There is more than a cheesy title here. One of the most famous passages from the Bible (John 3) explains itself by this mysterious passage from Numbers 21: When the Canaanite king of Arad,… heard that Israel was coming… he attacked … and captured some of them… Israel made this vow to the LORD: “If you will deliver these people into our hands, we will totally destroy their cities.” 3 The LORD listened to Israel’s plea and gave the Canaanites over to them. … [Israel]… traveled …to go around Edom….grew impatient…spoke against God…you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the desert? There is no bread! There is no water! And we detest this miserable food!”  Then the LORD sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died. 7 The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the LORD … Pray that the LORD will take the snakes away… The LORD said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.”  So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived.

What do snakes, poles, death, and a late night conversation with Jesus, have to do with life? That’s what we hope to make sense of today, the first Sunday of Lent.
