Jesus the Bread of Life

We have to look past what we see and see with our heart…

John 6:25-42
25 When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”

26 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. 27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”

28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

30 So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[c]”

32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”

35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

41 At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”

We can all very easily get caught up in only seeing what is isibke with our eyes. These men that were with Jesus wanted signs so that they could believe. They wanted proof, even after this proof was already given. They wanted more. Sound familiar?

No worries…He has you. He does not mind that you ask. Spiritual maturity will happen as you walk with Him. He will show you when it is time, but you must submit to the will of the Father and not your own. You cannot allow your eyes to be fixated on this world. It is a process, and one that can be used against you of you let it.

To day, let’s ask for all things that we need and want, like a child does to his/her father. Begin a conversation with Him, and allow Him to grow in you. He will send you where you need to go if you ask Him. It may take some time. That is where faith will become evident to you and you will see the fruits of your faith. People may doubt you or question, that is good. People may say that you are not worthy, that is good. Have FAITH. He see you. #JesusSaves

Amen
