fed

In the meantime the disciples spoke to Jesus, saying, “Rabbi, eat.” Jesus said to them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.” The disciples asked each other, “Has someone brought him food?” Jesus said to them, “I am fed by doing the will of the one who sent me and by completing his work. Don’t you have a saying, ‘Four more months and then it’s time for harvest’? Look, I tell you: open your eyes and notice that the fields are already ripe for the harvest. Those who harvest are receiving their pay and gathering fruit for eternal life so that those who sow and those who harvest can celebrate together. This is a true saying, that one sows and another harvests. I have sent you to harvest what you didn’t work hard for; others worked hard, and you will share in their hard work.” (John 4:31-38, CEB)

How are you fed?

And what does Jesus mean by “I am fed by doing the will of the one who sent me and by completing his work.”

Does he mean physically fed or emotionally or spiritually or something else?

We need to eat physical food or our bodies will start to eat themselves from the inside out, but we also need to feed our mental, spiritual, and emotional lives.

How are you fed?

By sharing love and grace and showing the world that hate will not win.

Loving People. Loving God.
