(Lesson 4501)(05-30-24) John 6:25-27
“And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither? Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.”
In today’s quote, Jesus addressed the crowd's superficial motivation for seeking Him, which is based on physical satisfaction rather than spiritual understanding. He then encouraged them to seek the eternal nourishment that He offers. This lesson highlights the importance of pursuing spiritual sustenance over temporary physical needs.
Sadly, much of today’s “Christian” message is more centered around securing physical gain and political advantage, rather than around genuine devotion to the content and intent of God’s word.~
