TODAY’S TOPIC: My father's will and bread of life
Text: John 6:35-40 (AMP Bible)
“Jesus replied to them, “I am the Bread of Life. The one who comes to Me will never be hungry, and the one who believes in Me [as Savior] will never be thirsty [for that one will be sustained spiritually]. But as I told you, you have seen Me and still you do not believe. All that My Father gives Me will come to Me; and the one who comes to Me I will most certainly not cast out [I will never, never reject anyone who follows Me]. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me. This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but that I [give new life and] raise it up at the last day. For this is My Father’s will and purpose, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him [as Savior] will have eternal life, and I will raise him up [from the dead] on the last day.”
*SHOWER:*
Jesus says He's the bread of life, and that whoever comes to Him will never be hungry or thirsty but fulfilled. But they didn't believe Him. We didn't believe Him despite all He's doing for us. He adds that He has come to do the will of His father? What is the will of your father? Some of us have or had fathers who were thieves, killers, adulters, idolaters, etc. An adage says that he whose father was known for robbery would surely become notorious in the act. That is, a man or woman will definitely behave like their father (do the wills of their father.) However, Jesus Christ has a father that involves Him in all He does; a father with whom the world and all in it were created (John 1 and Genesis 1). You can now imagine what we stand to gain if we come to Him? You will enjoy life everlasting, wealth, love, laughter, forward ever and so on. This is because His father is a good God and everything is under His care, and He has given it to His son to give to us (who believes in Him). The bread of life is before you. What are you still waiting for?
