God’s Mission
John 6:35-40
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
Pondering Point
Earlier in this section of teaching, Jesus says "whoever comes I will never drive away" (John 6:37).
I hope that as His church, as His followers, we can present a similar attitude to the world – driving no one away and always willing to do whatever our Father in Heaven seeks from us.
Let us all look to Jesus, the Son, and find life yes – but also a way of life to be lived as His followers.
Prayer
Thank God for Jesus as the Bread of Life, your source of life, and as an example for how to live.
Pray that among events and people clamoring for your attention, you keep looking to Jesus, that you pursue God daily, that you continue to come to Him for life.
Pray that your attitude toward others in life reflects that of Jesus Himself, never turning people away.

Pondering Point
Who gave you your first taste of God? In whom do you see the Lord noticeably present among family and friends? What taste do people get of God through you?
