Lynceus of Samos, was a classical Greek author of comedies, letters, and humorous
anecdotes who lived in the late fourth through third centuries BCE. He wrote the
following in praise of the bread rolls of Rhodes: "When our guests are given over to
eating and are satisfied, a most agreeable dish is produced called the 'hearth loaf,' which
is made of sweet things and compounded so as to be very soft, and it is made up with
such an admirable harmony of all the ingredients as to have a most excellent effect, so
that often a man who is drunk becomes sober again, and in the same way, a man who has
just eaten is made hungry by eating of it."
Those were some rolls! But Jesus offered something even better -- he offered himself as the Bread of Life.
