The food that endures to eternal life.

John 6:25-27, When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not labor for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.”

We see that Jesus withdrew to the mountain, for the people who saw the sign which He had done “were about to come and take him by force to make him king.” They were seeking Him not for who He is, but for what He could do to fill their bellies! He is the bread of life! Are we looking to Him for who He is?

We look to You for who You are, we give You all the glory!
