John 6:47 “Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life.” There seems to be two general thoughts in regard to life after death. One, there is no life after death and the other, life after death never, never, never ends. Jesus teaches the latter. Everyone has a faith in something. Jesus’ words are absolute truth. One might say–that’s your opinion–but is it? There aren’t many people who have died and then rose from the dead–only one. That One, Jesus, is hard not to believe. Now, do you want to believe in those who die and remain in the grave or believe in the One who miraculously accomplished His own Resurrection. Very simple choice!

John 6:40 “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.” We often pray–not my will, but Your will be done. God’s will is for us to look to Jesus, believe what He has to say and live accordingly. Your and my will has zero value if it is not God’s will. Which would we rather have–zero return on investment or 1000%? The answer is obvious.

John 6:35 “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.”‘ It is impossible for Jesus to be clearer. He did not come to earth for any other reason than to witness to the truth. It is impossible for Jesus to speak anything other than the truth. The sad truth is many make up their own truth and substitute their thinking as if their thinking had authority. Thank God that He has given you the faith which rests on the firm Truth which rewards you with peace on earth and life everlasting. Please pray for Stephanie’s son who was seriously injured in a footbal accident and that he recovers from a severe concussion.

John 6:33 “For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” San Francisco Boudin sourdough bread is undoubtedly the most popular sourdough bread in the world. If you were told to buy a loaf and you would have eternl life and the statement was true–wouldn’t you buy at least one loaf and wait with major anticipation for it to be shipped to you? You might even drive or fly to San Francisco to buy a loaf. Do you live with such anticipation in studying God’s Word where the Bread of Life can truly be found?

John 6:35 “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.'” Jesus states the truth very simply. He says–I am. He says–never go hungry, never be thirsty. Anyone who believes those simple words will have peace on earth and enjoy eternity in Heaven. Why so many make this truth so difficult is so foolish. Believe–the truth is wonderful and simple. Have a great weekend.
