Good morning, all!
Father, we may get knocked down, we might lose the wind in our sail, but You are always with us. Who can lay a charge against us? Who can condemn us? Separate us from You? Never, for we are more than conquerors because of Your love, death itself can’t separate us from Your love because You can’t lose, Amen.
John 6
35 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.
Jesus replied, I am the bread of life and anyone that comes to me will NEVER be hungry again. Anyone who believes in me will NEVER be thirsty.
36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
But I say there are those that have seen me and my works and they choose NOT to believe.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
The Father has given me all and they will come to me and anyone that comes to me I will NEVER reject.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
This is why I came down from heaven, NOT to do what I want but to do what the Father sent me to do.
Bottom line
Have you ever experienced a time when someone didn’t believe you? Or believe in you? Was your response I will in no wise cast them out? If we’re honest it’s usually the first thing we do, how many relationships have been broken because we have given up on someone? This is the message of Jesus Christ, why was He sent from heaven? To be the ultimate role model, to show us the way to live this life. The bread that came down from heaven…that which sustains a life full of promise and hope so that we would NEVER hunger. Why might we hunger? We hunger to have someone believe us, love us, spend time with us, and NEVER reject us. Have you ever been rejected by someone you love? Tell me you didn’t hunger to be loved, to be wanted, to be needed. This is such a powerful promise from Jesus, this is the true gospel…who can come to Him? ANYONE!!! What must they do? COME!!! And when we come NO matter the condition or reason, what is the promise? He will NOT reject you, this the will of the Father. Why is it Jesus would never reject us? Give up on us?
[1Co 13:7 NLT] Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. It’s called TRUE love, which will NEVER give up on a person; they will ENDURE every circumstance and hold on. Bread is symbolic of life itself, you can’t live without bread…you can’t live without a relationship with Jesus Christ, He is our bread of life. God gives us only one condition to for this relationship…COME. Notice what Jesus says, He did NOT come to do whatever he wants but He will only do the Father’s will. Not only does God want a relationship with us, but He also has a greater promise attached.
[Jhn 6:39 KJV] And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing… This is so powerful, it’s so pure and clean, NO manipulation, NO quid pro quo, NO pressure, NO conditions. He says Come and the will of the Father after we come to Him, I will lose NOTHING…translation you have a friend, and NOT just in this life but eternity…and that’s a mighty long time…yeah Prince-Ha! [Pro 18:24 NIV] One who has unreliable friends soon comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. You’ve heard it said blood is thicker than water, NOT true. [Psa 27:10 NLT] Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me close. Your own family might abandon you according to scripture-Ha! Not to worry your bread of life will hold you CLOSE, that’s right closer than your own family…COME…He will never lose sight of your heart, it means the world to Him. You know why?
[Ecc 3:11 NLT] Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end. God himself has placed FORVER in our heart, how could he possibly lose sight of you? To lose you would mean God would have to deny everything He is, everything He desires and everything He has promised…God NEVER loses, He is undefeated all time!
Point to Ponder
Do you want to win? [Phl 3:8 NLT] Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as garbage, so that I could win Christ. I pray your scoreboard in life reflects the only W that matters.
Let’s all come to Jesus, In Him Phil
Faith – Family – Friends
