John 6
A day without God’s word is like a day without physical food. You become spiritually weak and your mind is not functioning on spiritual things. You cannot live off of what you ate last week, nor can you be spiritually strong by thinking about what you ate last week. Keep reading and growing in the ways of God. I know you can do it; God gives us the power to accomplish spiritual tasks.
What can God do with the little we have? He can multiply it. The Disciples needed 8 months of pay & two hundred denari, to feed this crowd of over 5,000 people. Jesus fed them all out of the little that they had. When you’re trusting God, and following Him, you always have enough. God will supply.
Verse 16 – Jesus walks on the water to the troubled disciples. Remember when you see no way out, Jesus can make a way for you. Jesus can also transport you to where you need to be. Look at verse 21… immediately they were at land. In your darkest times, Jesus is coming, and will immediately get you to dry land. Jesus places your feet on solid ground.
Look at verse 27, Labor for God, because God has placed His seal on you! The Spirit of God seals us unto the day of redemption. And that is a visible seal to the spiritual world that you are God’s child. Right now as you read the Scriptures you are feeding on the Word of God. You are satisfying your soul, as you take in Christ and His Word.
Verses 53-60 should be taken as an analogy, speaking of taking Christ’s flesh and blood spiritually. Christ never spoke to keep disciples, He would be a terrible church planter. Christ spoke truth and demanded people to follow the truth. In verse 66, many walked with Christ no more. Are you trying to fit Christ into your life, or have you turned your life over and let everything be about Christ? This is the only way Christianity works.
Peter gives the key to following Christ in verses 68 and 70. Jesus has the words of eternal life & without Christ you will not have eternal life. And secondly, Jesus is The Christ, the Son of the living God. If you truly believe that you will have no choice but to follow Him.
I pray you will abandon all for Christ, and see Him multiply your life for His kingdom.
Keep reading, God is changing you into His sanctified servant for His glory.
