Bible Verse of The Day – 12-4-19

John 6:26 (NKJV) 26 Jesus answered them and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.

Jesus never beat around the bush. When He had something to say, He would say it, regardless of who He had to say it to, or whether it might offend someone.

Prior to speaking the words above, He had miraculously fed a large crowd of people with just a few morsels of food. And after doing so, He had departed.

The following day, the people found Him in another area and began asking Him questions.

Jesus, knowing their hearts and their intentions, spoke to them directly, admonishing them because they sought Him solely because He had fed them fish and bread. Their natural hunger had been satisfied.

As He did so often, He went on to urge them not to seek the things that satisfy our bodies, but that feed our spirits.

John 6:27 (NKJV) 27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”

This is something that each of us should remember, too.

The world we live in revolves around material possessions and satisfying the flesh. But as followers of Christ, it’s important that we not let ourselves get caught up in this thinking, but learning, instead, to let God show us how to live by His Spirit.

In this we will learn to labor for the food that endures to everlasting life, which Jesus promised to give us, if we seek it.

John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 … I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
