Episode 235: John 6

Today's meditation is on John Chapter 6

A lesson that is taught over and over again throughout scripture is that God can take what I have -- no matter how seemingly small and insignificant -- and turn it into more than enough.  

Jesus took 5 barley loaves and 2 fish and fed 5,000 men plus women and children, and they gathered up 12 baskets full of leftovers. 

I serve an extravagant, miracle-working God. He can walk on water and still the angry seas. I have nothing to fear because he is with me. 

I don't concern myself with perishable things like food. Instead, I spend my energy seeking the Kingdom of God. Through Jesus, I have received eternal and more abundant life. 

The only thing God requires of me is that I believe in the one he sent, Jesus Christ, his son. He is the true bread from heaven and he gives life to the world. 

Jesus is the bread of life. And because I have accepted him, I will never be hungry again. I believe in him, and he has given me living water. I will never be thirsty again. He will never reject me.

Just as Jesus came from heaven to do the will of God who sent him, I dedicate my life to doing God's will and not my own. It is the Father's will that all who believe in Jesus should have eternal life. And he will raise me up at the last day.

I am taught by God. I listen to the Father and learn from him and come to Jesus. Jesus is the living bread that came down from heaven. He offered up his body as a sacrifice so that I might live. And now, because of him, I will never die. I take part of his flesh and his blood in holy communion. I remain in him, and he remains in me.

The Spirit alone gives eternal life. My human effort accomplishes nothing. The very words Jesus spoke are spirit and life. 

I will never desert Jesus. Where would I go? He alone has the words that give eternal life. I believe and know that he is the Holy One of God. He is the Anointed One, the Son of God, my redeemer and my Lord.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
