John 6:52 “Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”‘ Although Jesus had a curious audience, He did not have listeners who understood what He was saying. The same is true in history before Jesus’s time, after Jesus’s time and even today. When Jesus tells the world the truth, the world evaluates and determines their own truth. When Jesus says—I am the bread of life–the world foolishly thinks–does that mean we eat you? How sad the thinking of the world. How blessed are His faithful followers.

John 30-31a “But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven..” Faith guarantees eternal life. Jesus wants all to know Him. Those statements can seem very complicated or be extremely simple. Jesus is life. He wants the world to know this simple truth. Man seems to love making life complicated with so many–buts. But what if-but what about this-but others think-but-endless buts. Jesus simply says–I bring eternal life. Let’s eliminate the but and enjoy His absolute truth. Have a great weekend.

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.
