DON'T WORK FOR FOOD THAT SPOILS

Passage: John 6:22~29  

Key verse: 27


1. Food that endures to eternal life (22-27)

The crowd had had lunch with Jesus, but they were hungry again. They wanted him to give them more bread. He had done a gracious act and demonstrated his Messiahship, but they only thought about bread. Men work hard for bread, but bread does not solve men's life problem. Material things can never satisfy the deepest needs of a man's heart, nor can they solve the problem of death. But the bread that Jesus gives endures to eternal life.

2. The work of God is to believe (28-29)

What must we do to do the work of God? This is what the crowd asked. The only work we can do for God is to believe in the one whom he has sent--Jesus. No matter what, we must believe in Jesus who loves us. When we believe in him, we have eternal life. This is the food that truly satisfies and lasts forever.


Prayer: Lord, thank you for teaching me how to do your work. Help me to believe in you no matter what. Help me to see people and events with the eyes of faith.

One Word: Do the work of God
