"Who Is Jesus?"(John 6:30-35)

John 6:30-35

 To live as followers of Christ, we need to know who Jesus is. Jesus is many things to us and using scriptures, we can have a deep understanding of who he really is.

 

Jesus is the Bread of Life

 

The crowds said that they wanted to see miracles so that they could believe in Jesus. The real purpose these people wanted other benefits but not a relationship with Jesus.

 

So they said to him, “Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”

John 6:30-31 ESV

 

When Jesus explains how the bread God gives is life, they ask for this bread.

 

They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.”

John 6:34 ESV

 At this point, Jesus needs to explain clearly to the masses that He is the life sustaining bread.

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.

John 6:35 ESV

But the people show us that they want something else and not the relationship with God when Jesus tells them that He is this bread.

At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”

John 6:41-42 ESV 

Jesus came to the world as light.

 

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

John 8:12 ESV

 

Darkness is not bad, but when we are living in darkness we are lost and do not know who we are. When we step into the light we see where we are and who we are. We can see the sin in our lives. We can now see the problem. Once we see the problem, we can find a solution. If we do not see the problem, we will never solve it. Some people step into the light and then hide in the darkness because they do not like to what they.

 

Jesus is eternal.

 

Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”

John 8:58 ESV

 

The only thing that lasts forever is Jesus. Jesus is going to hold you forever.

 

I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

John 10:28 ESV

 

Jesus is going satisfy us eternally. He will keep us clean. Jesus has already given us eternal life. In fact, we received eternal life when we accepted Jesus. This is the same eternal Jesus who is going to sustain us and see us through to the full completion.

 

"Answered Prayer"(Matthew 7:7-10)

Matthew 7:7-10

Life is not always the way we want it to be. Often, we will pray for something, and we do not get what we want. We become discouraged with our unanswered prayers. In Matthew, we read about prayer.

 

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

Matthew 7:7-9, 11 ESV

 

According to this passage, whatever we ask for, we will receive it. We also know that this does not happen. Sometimes people will say that our unanswered prayer is a result of a lack of faith. This comes from James.

 

But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind.

James 1:6 ESV

 

Out of context, it would seem that it is only because of a lack of faith. Yet, if we read the verse before, we see that this is about as

 

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

James 1:5 ESV

 

So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

2 Corinthians 12:7-9 ESV

  

Jesus contrasts the unrighteous judge to God. The judge listens to those who make noise and insist on getting their way. God listens to everyone and does what is best. This is not about pestering God continually until we get what we want. This is about how God listens.

 

And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

Luke 18:7-8 ESV

 

So, maybe we do not get our prayers answered because of wrong motives. However, in the right context, we understand that from this passage there were quarrels caused by wrong motives and people were praying with the wrong intentions. The main point is not against praying for worldly things but against infighting and prayers that perpetuate conflict.

 

What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you? Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you? You desire and do not have, so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly, to spend it on your passions. You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

James 4:1-4 ESV

 

A good God gives bread when we ask for it or not. God provides us the best. It is  us that decides if the best God gives are stones or snakes. 

 

Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

Matthew 7:9-11 ESV

 

Why do we pray? We pray to create, maintain, and nurture a loving relationship with our father God. We speak with our father whether we want something or not. Prayer is communication with our God. Prayers are not magic spells to create what we want. Prayer is that blessing between you and God. BUild up your relationship with God through prayer.

"Spiritual Blessing"(Ephesians 1:3-14)

Ephesians 1:3-14

 

In Ephesians 1, Paul talks about blessings God has given us. In fact, these blessings are spiritual and from heaven.

 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places,

Ephesians 1:3 ESV

 

God created the world for us. We were on God's mind when he created us, and he had special plans for each of us. Paul tells us that God chose us specifically for his purpose before even the world was created. That purpose was to be holy and righteous. This is the first blessing in verse four.

 

even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love

Ephesians 1:4 ESV

 

Even after the Fall, God has been trying to get us back into a proper relationship with Him. Moreover, God sent prophets, kings, and judges to give us his word and to bring us back to him. This did not work, and God had to send his son to reconcile us.

 

he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,

Ephesians 1:5 ESV

 

However, Jesus did not just save us but promised us a better life. Jesus stays with us so that we will have a better future that we will be ready for the new heaven and new earth. It is not a case of Jesus rescuing us from a one-time disaster or lifting us out of the pit and letting us fall back into the same trap. The salvation from Jesus has permanently endowed on us and allows us to work in the kingdom of God not as a worker but as a child through an acquired birthright.

 

In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will,

Ephesians 1:11 ESV

 

We also need to respond to these three blessings.

 

For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,

Ephesians 1:15-16 ESV

 

We must love others and share what God has given us. We might not have physical blessings to share with others, but we have spiritual blessings to share. We can share the great love God has shared with us to others so God can bless them, too.

 

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

Ephesians 1:17-18 ESV

 

We also need to be aware of work that has been given to us. We need to give our daily life to God. We need to put God in our daily life. We need to live as daily sacrifices. We do our best in the positions we have been put into. Do not break the rules but do your best in the position God has put you in.

 

and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places,

Ephesians 1:19-20 ESV

 

The one who raised Jesus and placed him as the highest authority is the same who gives us power.

 

And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church,

Ephesians 1:22 ESV

 

The head is Christ. We need to work together and work as if Christ is the head of the church and His mission is our mission. Christ loved us and saved us, and we, too, must others as Christ did, so He can save them as well.
