Jesus Wants Us to Seek the Food of Eternal Life ㅡ

 “Labor not for the meat which perishes, but for that meat which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give to you: for him has God the Father sealed.”

 (John 6:27)

 When temporal matters absorb the mind and engage the attention, the whole strength of the being is engaged in the service of man, and men look upon the worship due to God as a trifling matter.

Religious interests are made subservient to the world.

But Jesus, who has paid the ransom for the souls of the human family, requires that men shall subordinate temporal interests to the heavenly interests.

He would have them cease to indulge in hoarding up earthly treasures, in spending money upon luxuries, and in surrounding themselves with all those things which they do not need.

He would not have them destroy spiritual power, but directs their attention to heavenly things.

He urges that men should seek more earnestly and continually for the bread of life than for the bread which perishes.

It is the Word of God that is essential for our spiritual growth.

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”

Those who are doers of the words of Christ will bring heaven into their life.

 (Lift Him Up 128)
