“I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” John 6:35
The disciples personally experienced the feeding of the five thousand.
They were hungry and Jesus gave them food for their bodies.
The next day they went looking for Jesus on the other side of the lake.
Jesus confronted the disciples because they were seeking Him for the food that spoils and not the food that endures to eternal life.
Jesus admonished the disciples to seek the bread that comes from heaven.
The challenge in this story is to keep your motives pure in reaching out to Jesus.
There are only two ways to fill the spiritual void in your life. You must come to Jesus and believe in Him.
Come to Jesus with a decision to live for Him. Make Jesus the centerpiece of your life.
Secondly, you must believe in Jesus and walk with Him by faith.
This will entitle you to the bread of life. You will never be hungry or thirsty for the life of Jesus.
The Holy Spirit who is the life of Jesus is sealed inside all believers. He is the source of the Living Water.
The Holy Spirit will nourish your soul and fill you with the attributes of Jesus.
Your relationship with Jesus will not prevent you from dealing with adversities or facing droughts in your journey through life.
Your foundation has to be laid on Christ crucified. He has to be first and foremost in your life. Nothing can supersede Him. You must worship Jesus for who He is and not for what you want from Him.
Your aspirations must be to first seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
You do this through prayer, meditating on the Word and listening for His voice.
To walk with Jesus you must live under the authority of the Holy Spirit. He is your guiding light and teacher.
