Scripture: John 6: 26-27
Jesus answered, “Truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw[f] the signs, but because you ate the loaves and were filled.27 Don’t work for the food that perishes but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set his seal of approval on him.”
Scripture Commentary:
Eat and fill yourself with food and be hungry again. Fill yourself with the food that lasts for eternal life that the Son of Man gives you and never hunger or thirst again.
Jesus criticized the people who followed Him only for physical and temporal benefits, not for satisfying their spiritual hunger. The Word of God has a filling effect on the spirit that food can’t satisfy.
What do you hunger for?
Is it for worldly goods or is it for eternal life with Our Savior Jesus Christ? True believers follow Jesus simply because they know He has the truth. His way is the way to salvation.
Jesus is the bread of life but bread must be eaten to sustain life. You must invite Christ into your life. He must be part of your daily walk to sustain spiritual life with Him.
God can do the miraculous.
God, through the Holy Spirit, urges you to accept, but it’s up to you to believe in Christ. God can do the miraculous. Trust Him to provide the way.
Don’t miss your opportunity to believe in the Savior, Jesus Christ!
