COME TO ME
Read: John 6:30-40
|
(They said therefore unto him, What sign showest thou then, that
we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? |
|
Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He
gave them bread from heaven to eat. |
|
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses
gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread
from heaven. |
|
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and
giveth life unto the world. |
|
Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. |
|
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh
to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. |
|
But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. |
|
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that
cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. |
|
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the
will of him that sent me. |
|
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all
which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at
the last day. |
|
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which
seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will
raise him up at the last day.) |
When Jesus lived on this earth, he invited people to
come to him, and that we need;
Salvation: Jesus is the only way to have forgiveness of sin and the
promise of heaven. “whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal
life”.
Purpose: We are to give all of our heart, soul,
mind, and strength to follow Jesus. “whoever desires to come after me let him
deny cross himself, and take up his cross, and follow me”.
Comfort: In trial
or sorrow, “the God of comfort comforts us in all our tribulations”.
Wisdom: We need wisdom
beyond our own for making decisions. “if any of you lacks wisdom let him ask of
God…and it will be given to him”.
Strength: When we
are weary, “the Lord will give strength to his people”.
Abundant
life: The life is found in a relationship with Jesus “I have come
that they may have life. And that they may have it more abundantly”. Jesus said
“the one who comes to me, I will by no means cast out”. Come!
MUSTARD SEED OF WISDOM: Jesus invites us to come to him for Life.
PRAYER POINT: lord help me to follow
you fully.
