Works of God John 6:26-40
A Reflection for Prayer this week:
We all strive for goodness, yet we miss what Jesus has asked us to do. We need to pray today and reflect on His words to bring those into His everlasting arms. We aren't to seek goodness for ourselves but for our neighbors so they may be God's children. Because we don't reflect and put our eyes on God, we continue to miss the purpose of our life. Bring back the focus into your life. Show people the love that Christ has given to us. Reach out to those in need instead of condemning them for what they do. I see so much gossip, judgement and self-indulgence within the church that it pains my spirit. We need to pray about this, so we know that we aren't doing this. Pray that God will show you how His mercy, love and grace abide in this world.
John 6 speaks the words that Christ left for His disciples. My prayer is that you read them with your heart wide open and move forward on those words. The truth in salvation needs to be heard.

John 6:26-40 NKJV
26 Jesus answered them and said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. 27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.”
28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?”
29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
30 Therefore they said to Him, “What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”[d]
32 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”
35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
