The Bread of Life

The daily bread from yesterday was really good, so I would like to share a portion of it with you. ........

Jesus fed a crowd of 5,000 and the next day many searched for Him (John 6:10-11,24-25). He challenged them: "You seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled" (v26). It seems that the food was more important to some of the people than the everlasting life Jesus offered in Himself. He told them He was "the bread of God...who comes down from Heaven and gives life to the world" (v33). Some didn't believe, wouldn't accept His teaching and "walked with Him no more" (v66). They had wanted the food, but they didn't want Him and what would be required of them to follow Him. Jesus calls us today to come to Him, not for the blessings from His hand, but to receive the eternal life He offers and to follow Him, "the bread of God". - Anne Cetas

Examining our motives for following the Lord will show if we're authentically believing in His word. - Sper


It really makes me look at myself to see why I am following Jesus. The blessings are a nice thing to have but I think the number 1 reason that I follow Jesus is for the "Everlasting Life that He offers! Then the more I thought about it the more I thought that it was kind of selfish of me. It is like getting a prize at the bottom of a cracker jack box. I get a great gift but what does God get. And then it hit me. God gets us. His creation that He created in love. God loves us so very much that it would be a great gift to Him to get us back forever and ever.
