The Words
of God are of the Spirit and are difficult to understand by natural man. We
need the help of God through the Holy Spirit to understand.
Read the
following with prayer :-
JESUS THE
BREAD OF LIFE :
“Then
Jesus declared, “I
am the
BREAD OF LIFE. Whoever
comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in
me will never be thirsty. But
as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. All
those the Father gives me will
come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For
I have come down from heaven not
to do my will but to do the will of
him who sent me. And
this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has
given me, but raise them up at the last day. For
my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and
believes in him shall have eternal life, and
I will raise them up at the last day.”
At
this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I
am the BREAD that
came down from heaven.”
…………“Stop
grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus
answered. “No
one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and
I will raise them up at the last day. It
is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God. ’Everyone who has heard
the Father and learned from him comes to me. No
one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only
he has seen the Father. Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal
life. I
am the BREAD OF LIFE. Your
ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But
here is the BREAD that comes down from heaven, which
anyone may eat and not die. I
am the LIVING BREAD that
came down from heaven. Whoever
eats this bread will live forever. This BREAD is my flesh, which I will give
for the life of the world.”
Then
the Jews began
to argue sharply among themselves, “How
can this man give us his FLESH
to
eat?”
Jesus
said to them, “Very
truly I tell you, unless you eat the FLESH of
the Son of Man and
drink his BLOOD, you
have no life in you. Whoever
eats my FLESH and drinks my BLOOD has eternal life, and I will raise them up at
the last day. For
my FLESH is real food and my BLOOD is real drink. Whoever
eats my FLESH and drinks my BLOOD remains in me, and I in them. Just
as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who
feeds on me will live because of me. This
is the BREAD that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but
whoever feeds on this BREAD will live forever.”
MANY DISCIPLES DESERT JESUS
On
hearing it, many of his disciples said,
“This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”
Aware
that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does
this offend you? Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend
to where he was before! The
Spirit gives life; the
flesh counts for nothing. The WORDS I have spoken to you—THEY ARE FULL OF THE
SPIRIT AND LIFE. Yet
there are some of you who do not believe.”
For
Jesus had known from
the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him.
He
went on to say, “This
is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled
them.”
From
this time many of his disciples turned
back and no longer followed him.
“You
do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus
asked the Twelve.
Simon
Peter answered him, “Lord,
to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to
believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
(John 6: 25-70)
FRIENDS,
let the answer of Pater be ours, too. For that let’s repeat saying what Peter said - “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the
words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the
Holy One of God.”
As
the words of the God are difficult to understand by natural man, the Bible says, “Let
no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this
age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this
world is foolishness before God.” -1 Corinthians 3:18-19.
Friends,
Jesus is talking about His body(flesh) and blood and life (soul and spirit) He
was going to give as a sacrifice on our
behalf to save us from eternal condemnation. All God give the Holy Spirit to
all who believe in Him and believe and accepted Jesus as Lord and Saviou. About
this Jesus was talking.
Study
the Bible daily and always pray to God.
Write
‘Amen’ if you have the Holy Spirit and understand the words of God.God bless
you.
