Jesus was probably familiar with doors because He was the son of a carpenter. Every building I’ve ever been in has an entrance somewhere. Third, Jesus said, “I am the door” (John 10:9). Jesus Christ is the One that brings peace in our hearts. They have all those things, but they’re not happy. In America many people are stumbling like blind people, going through life searching for something that they don’t have. Jesus said if you come to Him, you will live with Him. But the spirit, the real you, lives on forever.

When you die, your body goes to the grave. But the Bible also says you have a soul, a spirit living inside of you. But more than helping the body, I see it coming into the souls of people. As I’ve traveled around the world, I’ve seen the light of thousands of Christian hospitals and Christian educational institutions I see this light shining across the world, extending our Christian hand of compassion to a needy world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life” (John 8:12). Jesus said, “I am the light of the world. What the sun is to the earth, Jesus Christ is to the human heart. If it were farther from us, we would freeze to death. If the sun were a few kilometers closer to us, we would all be burned up. God put the sun a precise distance from the earth. We know that no plant or animal or human life on this earth can live without light. We know the effects of the sun, but we don’t exactly know all about it. Scientists say they do not know what light is. Second, Jesus said, “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12). Have you taken of that bread? You must repent of your sins, change your mind, turn your back on sin and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.

This bread satisfies the inner longings and hungers of the human heart. He who comes to Me shall never hunger” (John 6:35). I’m willing to turn from my sins and receive You as my Lord and Savior.” Jesus says, “I am the bread of life. You just open your heart and say, “Lord Jesus, come in. To receive Christ into your heart seems so simple. It seemed so simple, such a painless act. They put a little bit of medicine on it, and I ate it and swallowed it. When I took a vaccination for polio, they gave me a little white wafer. Then a vaccine was discovered, and polio was almost wiped out. How do you receive this living bread? In America in years past, we had a terrible disease called polio. “If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever” (John 6:51). Jesus said, “I am the living bread which came down from heaven” (Cf. People cannot be satisfied with anything less than Christ. People all over the world are the same they have an inborn hunger for something, and that something is Christ. Bread in the Bible is the symbol of spiritual life. But Jesus’ greatest concern was for people with spiritual hunger.Ī doctor in America said some time ago that more people die of loneliness and guilt and depression and insecurity and heart hunger than die of physical starvation. Without bread or rice, a meal would not seem like a meal. In China I know you have a lot of rice, but you also have bread. Seven times in the Gospel of John He uses the expression, “I am.” First, He said, “I am the bread of life. Jesus completed the statement that was given to Moses. God said, “You tell them that I AM sent you.” Moses had said, “When I go down to Egypt and the people ask me who sent me, what shall I tell them” (Cf. In Exodus 3:14, the Bible says, “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM” (KJV). The mighty God of the universe calls Himself I AM. The following is a sermon Billy Graham preached at Pure Heart Church, in Shanghai, China, April 24, 1988.
