John 6:35-40

"Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty."  John 6:35 (NIV)

Sandwiched between these two verses, is our life. Everything we could want or need we find here.  Our hunger is satisfied and our thirst quenched; and all we need to do is LOOK and BELIEVE.  But, how easy is it look to Jesus, especially as a new Believer, for our needs to be met.  I know I was skeptical, thinking that certainly there must be something more substantial I must do.

I am watching a finch, eating from a feeder not 3 feet from where I am sitting.  This creature is cared for by God who has made provisions for the animal's every meal. This bird trusts his natural instinct for food.  We, who have been created in the image of God, should take a lesson from this finch and trust.

Look and Believe - salvation is ours for the taking. We haven't earned it, or worked for it, it is freely given. When God sent His son to be our Bread of Life, everything changed.  No longer could man ask the question "Is this all there is?"  This is only the beginning for those of us who partake of the Bread of Life.  It sounds so easy, simple, and almost too good to be true.  Grace makes it all possible.

"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 him up at the last day." (John 6:40)
