Jesus called himself the Bread of Life to illustrate his role as the source of spiritual nourishment for believers. Just as bread sustains physical life, Jesus provides sustenance for the soul through his teachings and his sacrificial death. By calling himself the Bread of Life, Jesus emphasized the need for people to partake of him in faith in order to experience true spiritual fulfillment and eternal life.

What did Jesus call God?

My friend, there are numerous cases wherein Christ Jesus called God "Father". Here are a few examples: Jesus gave them this answer: "Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. (John 5:19, New International Version) "For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. (John 12:49, New American Standard Bible) 17 When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2 since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3 And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. (John 17:1-3, English Standard Version)

Why does the Church believe that the bread and wine really turn into the Holy Body and Blood of Christ?

Because that's what Jesus taught us in the Bible. The main reference is chaper 6 of the Gospel of John. "'I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh.' (John 6:51-52). People who heard this were stupefied because they understood that Jesus was being literal. They questioned and Jesus repeated the idea over and over again. And when the teaching was too hard and people started to leave, Jesus didn't call them back to say it was only symbolic. Paul confirms the idea on 1 Cor. "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ?" (1 Cor. 10:16). So when we receive Communion, we actually participate in the body and blood of Christ, not just eat symbols of them. A;sp "Therefore whoever eats the bread and drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. . . . For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself" (1 Cor. 11:27, 29).
