John 6 :22-34
The people desperately looked for Jesus. But their
spiritual condition degenerated. Jesus leveled off their spiritual condition
without looking at their actual shape and without a screen.
1. It’s
because you were given the bread
A little while ago, Jesus complained because people
looked for miracles. But now Jesus saw that their spiritual condition
deteriorated to a bestial condition. They failed to make Jesus their king of
bread, at least they wanted to satisfy their stomach again. By an attentive
examination of oneself we must improve, not regress. Sometimes it’s better to
rest sitting down to think than bustle about.
2. Look for spiritual food
Even if the people
didn’t listen to him and the word was difficult to digest, Jesus wanted to give
us God’s word. People think that it’s sufficient to earn money. They don’t worry
about their soul. But what is important to mankind is the soul’s salvation. So,
when we work, we musn’t think about what we gain or lose, but we always must
wonder if we glorify God or not. The people didn’t know what God’s work is (28).
Doing God’s work isn’t as difficult as they think, it’s believing in Jesus.
They were proud of the manna story. It was the prefiguration of Jesus’ arrival.
But they were too carnal to understand that.
Prayer : Lord,
make me progress from baby to child, from child to adolescent, from adolescent
to adult by constant morning meditation. It want to be satisfied by spiritual
food. Satisfy my soul with you.
