John 6:26-27 "Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed".
Jesus the Christ, the Son of the living God,the creator and saviour of the whole world.The answer to every prayer ever prayed.The fulfilled promise from God to mankind,and I ask why do you seek Him.
With all the Jesus is, does, and has, why is it that you seek Him in your life?Is is because of the miracle of salvation or because of things of this world.
Jesus came to pay the price for man's salvation, He died that we might live.John said "Behold the lamb of God who taketh away the sin of the world".The purpose for Jesus birth ,death, and His glorious resurrection was to set man free from sin and the guilt of sin.But we tend to think He died that we might obtain the riches of this world.Jesus didn't have to die for us to be rich, there were people who prospered with material wealth even before Jesus came.Jesus died that man might be free from sin and once again have a relationship with his creator.Here in this text Jesus tells the many who followed Him, you didn't seek me for salvation, but for the things I blessed you with.Many of us today don't seek Christ for our salvation, but for the promise of what we can get from Him.We tend to work hard for the things of this world that will perish, but tend to hit and miss when it comes to having a relationship with Christ.He tells us to labor for that which is everlasting.
Let us not get so caught up in the empty promises of this world,hung up seeking it's joys and toys,and let us seek after that which is forever.Let us seek after Christ for the salvation of our soul and the promise of ever lasting life.Know that God will bless us with the things of this world He feels we need in our life.Remember,He will withhold no good thing from us,but we should seek ye first the kingdom of God,and the things of the world shall be added to you.So I ask why do you seek Jesus?
