27 "Don’t waste your energy striving
for perishable food like that.
Work for the food that sticks with you,
food that nourishes your lasting life,
food the Son of Man provides.
He and what He does are guaranteed
by God the Father to last. "
28 To that they said,
"Well, what do we do then to get in on God’s works?"
29 Jesus said,
"Throw your lot in with the One that God has sent.
That kind of a commitment gets you in on God’s works."
30-31 They waffled:
"Why don’t you give us a clue about who you are,
just a hint of what’s going on?
When we see what’s up, we’ll commit ourselves.
Show us what you can do.
Moses fed our ancestors with bread in the desert.
It says so in the Scriptures:
‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’"
32-33 Jesus responded,
"The real significance of that Scripture
is not that Moses gave you bread from heaven
but that my Father is right now
offering you bread from heaven, the real bread.
The Bread of God came down out of heaven
and is giving life to the world ."
34 They jumped at that:
"Master, give us this bread, now and forever!"
35-38 Jesus said,
"I am the Bread of Life.
The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever.
I have told you this explicitly because even though you have seen me in action,
you don’t really believe me.
Every person the Father gives me eventually comes running to me.
And once that person is with me,
I hold on and don’t let go.
I came down from heaven not to follow my own whim
but to accomplish the will of the One who sent me .
39-40 "This, in a nutshell, is that will:
that everything handed over to me by the Father be completed
—not a single detail missed—
and at the wrap-up of time I have everything and everyone put together, upright and whole.
This is what my Father wants:
that anyone who sees the Son
and trusts who he is
and what he does
and then aligns with him
will enter real life, eternal life.
My part is to put them on their feet alive and whole at the completion of time ."
John 6:27-40

When we read the Scriptures or hear the stories from the Bible, we get to believe that we shall never have such a great life like the heroes we read about. At church we are told about how great is that guy or that lady. And we might feel discouraged. Let me tell you something: all those biblical heroes were humans just like me and you .
In the Bible we are also told the mistakes of some of the greatest people that ever existed . Yes, they did stupid things like I do most of the times. They sinned, they were discouraged, they forgot that there is a God, they disobeyed God and His Son - Jesus Christ.
Everyone has his/hers weak points, as I told you before in What should we do with our weak spot(s)? The right question is what are we going to do about them. Continue Reading…
