TEXT: John
6:25-40
TOPIC: DO
NOT WORK FOR FOOD THAT SPOILS
An adage has it that “a
golden fish has no hidden place.”
The series of miracles
performed by Jesus made people more desperate to pursue Him wherever He went
and by whatever means. However, Jesus knowing everyone’s heart, told them that
the energy they were expending in pursuing Him was ill-motivated.
Jesus rebuked their
purely materialistic notions of the Kingdom, as they sought a miracle worker
who would merely fill their stomachs with bread.
Jesus wanted us to work
for the right cause, for things that eternal value. The scripture consistently
reminds us that we need more than just physical food to live; we need spiritual
nourishment.
Isaiah summed it up this
way; “Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor
for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food” (Isaiah 55:2, ESV).
QUESTION: Does
your work have eternal value?
PRAYER: Help me, dear Lord, to seek first your kingdom and
your righteousness, so that all other things shall be added unto me.
Remain
Blessed
