The Source

...., “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. John 8:35

We live in a world full of cultures that are activity-laden, that cannot wait, and that needs things done fast.  We often assume we accomplish more when we are active; there is pressure to do something always. It is possible to waste time on social media unless it’s on things that matter.  Do we sometimes goggle our worries? When vacation time comes, we wish the time would never end! 

We long to have lots of money so that we would be set for life. Worldwide, many are searching for something that will last forever! Can we call that life? Yes, but this is only temporary unfortunately!  John 10:10 states, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the fullest.” He came into the world to change us so that he would be our main focus and desire and source.

We learn from Proverbs 8:35 that “whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord”. The Bible teaches that those who believe in Jesus will have eternal life, their names will be written in the Lamb’s book of Life.” Material things are essential but temporary. Vacations which are necessary will end, beauty will fade. But, having a relationship with Jesus is forever, a call for good daily investment in every area of our lives.

Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life.”  Everything that we are searching for can be found in Him.  No wonder He says, He is the bread of Life. In the natural, bread is consumed every day wherever you go on this planet! It was part of the main diet for the children of Israel in the beginning.  During the wilderness journey the children of Israel had regular relapses and wanted to go back to Egypt every time they faced challenges. We need not look to the world for life answers but rather seek God, our Creator.  The darkness of the world is so severe that only God alone can penetrate it in order to free people to see the truth clearly. When our faith is anchored in Christ, He gives us the real life in abundance because He is the Source! 

Pray your response to the Lord personally, meaningfully and genuinely.

Reflect:

What action can you take this week to make an impact for Jesus?

How can you constantly remain in the scope of your boundaries?
