Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But I told you that you have seen me and still don’t believe. Everyone whom the Father gives to me will come to me, and I won’t send away anyone who comes to me. I have come down from heaven not to do my will, but the will of him who sent me. This is the will of the one who sent me, that I won’t lose anything he has given me, but I will raise it up at the last day. This is my Father’s will: that all who see the Son and believe in him will have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” (John 6:35-40, CEB)
What is eternal life?
Is it something we wait for? That will come when Jesus returns?
Is it life forever with God in heaven, wherever or however that may be?
Jesus here in John says that he came down to be the bread of life and to give eternal life to whoever believed.
Jesus is the sustenance for our daily lives like food is for our bodies, our relationship with God is sustenance for life.
Eternal life is not something we wait for, but something we live into right now.
Know you are in that life giving relationship and it will last forever.
Loving People. Loving God.
