John 6:22-70

John 6:25-40 … 26 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, you want to be with me because I fed you, not because you understood the miraculous signs. 27 But don’t be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man* can give you. For God the Father has given me the seal of his approval.” 28 They replied, “We want to perform God’s works, too. What should we do?” 29 Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent…”

Make ETERNAL LIFE from Jesus the purpose of your existence, not secondary pursuits

John 6:41-59 43 But Jesus replied, “Stop complaining about what I said. 44 For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them up. 45 As it is written in the Scriptures,* ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me. 46 (Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only I, who was sent from God, have seen him.) 47 “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life. 48 Yes, I am the bread of life!…”

Genuinely SEEK Jesus for life direction, but don’t grumble amongst yourselves

John 6:60-70 …67 Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?” 68 Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. 69 We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God…*”

Keep FAITH in Jesus, God’s Son and our Savior, no matter what others think

Next Steps

Further Study

Review John 6 throughout this week, and ask God to help you pursue Him with a genuine and sincere heart. Are you pursuing the eternal life that Jesus offers, or are you living for secondary pursuits? Ask God to give you courage to live for what really counts.

Find Joy in Trials

Find Joy in Trials

The trials that you go through for doing the right thing, while obviously painful and challenging, can bring about PERSEVERANCE when we allow God to move and work in us. While no one feels happy about these circumstances, we can be JOYFUL. Joy isn’t defined by emotion, but is based on the truth of knowing that despite present circumstances, we still have VICTORY in Jesus!
