John 6

As an aftermath of Jesus' feeding of the multitudes recorded in the beginning of John 6, he explains in verses 25-40 that he is the bread of life. His followers reply, "Sir, give us this bread always."  In many ways this passage is similar to chapter 4 of John's Gospel in which the Samaritan woman by the well is told about "living water" and replies "Sir, give me this water."

The "bread" in the construction shown below was made by foaming polyurethane sealant into a small metal bread pan and then painting it with acrylics.
