Good Morning Friends,
“When they found him on the other side of the
lake, they asked him, ‘Rabbi, when did you get here?’ Jesus answered, ‘I tell
you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but
because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils,
but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On
him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.’ Then they asked him, ‘What
must we do to do the works God requires?’ Jesus answered, ‘The work of God is
this: to believe in the one he has sent.’” (John 6:25-29)
What attracts you to Jesus? Some were
attracted to Jesus when He lived because they wanted what they could get from
Him. They liked the food He created for them.
Jesus is looking for followers who aren’t
attracted by what we can get from Him, but are attracted to Jesus Himself.
What is your goal in life?
There are many things to which a person can
devote his or her life: being comfortable, acquiring wealth, having fun,
staying healthy, being famous, making some contribution to society, and you can
probably add more items to the list. None of those goals will last. All of them
will fade into insignificance as time passes.
Jesus offers another goal in life toward
which we can aim that will never fade away: it is simply to trust and follow
Him. That’s a goal that will last for eternity. It’s really worth giving your life
to.
His, by Grace,
Steve
