10/03 John 6:60-61
Even his disciples said, “This is very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?” 61 Jesus knew within himself that his disciples were complaining, so he said to them, “Does this offend you?
HARD
It is hard for us to believe and trust the Lord. We are so sin stained, so self-focused that surrender to the Lord is foreign to our mind and heart. Life goes fast-trust the Lord and love Him with all of your heart.

10/02 John 6:57-59
I live by the power of the living Father who sent me; in the same way, those who partake of me will live because of me. 58 I am the true bread from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever and not die as your ancestors did, even though they ate the manna.” 59 He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.
TRUE
Jesus is true. He is true in spite of what you or me think. Jesus is the true Word from God, He is the LIVING LORD and we have life and peace in Him. Jesus is the true God and Messiah. Come Lord Jesus.
10/01 John 6:52-56
Then the people began arguing with each other about what he meant. “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” they asked. 53 So Jesus said again, “I assure you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. 54 But those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them at the last day. 55 For my flesh is the true food, and my blood is the true drink. 56 All who eat my flesh and drink my blood remain in me, and I in them.
JESUS
Jesus is a stumbling block for the lost and life and power for the saved. He brings us into His family and invests His power, and sustenance in us. We are saved by grace unto eternity.
09/30 John 6:48-51
Yes, I am the bread of life! 49 Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. 50 However, the bread from heaven gives eternal life to everyone who eats it. 51 I am the living bread that came down out of heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; this bread is my flesh, offered so the world may live.”
STRENGTH
Jesus gives us the strength we need to face the unknown and to overcome the difficulty sin brings in our life. We need power to face each day and Jesus gives us that power.
09/29 John 6:45-47
As it is written in the Scriptures, ‘They will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to me. 46 (Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only I, who was sent from God, have seen him.) 47 “I assure you, anyone who believes in me already has eternal life.
BELIEVES
Anyone who believes in Jesus has eternal life. You and I are included in that promise. Jesus is alive and He is seeking and saving the lost. If you have asked Christ to save you rejoice for you can know with surety that He has indeed saved you. Jesus loves you.
09/28 John 6:41-44
Then the people began to murmur in disagreement because he had said, “I am the bread from heaven.” 42 They said, “This is Jesus, the son of Joseph. We know his father and mother. How can he say, ‘I came down from heaven’?” 43 But Jesus replied, “Don’t complain about what I said. 44 For people can’t come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them from the dead.
WHO
Who do you say Jesus is? If you have bent the knee to Him and asked Him to give you real life, life like the Father’s then you have been forgiven and Jesus is the leader of your life. Make it so today. Jesus is Lord.
09/27 John 6:39-40
And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them to eternal life at the last day. 40 For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life — that I should raise them at the last day.”
WILL
We want to do the will of God-share Jesus with someone. It is God’s will that no one be left behind, that all be saved. As you seek to do His WILL remember that Jesus said the Father wanted everyone to be saved and that He was going to do this work through you and me.
09/26 John 6:36
But you haven’t believed in me even though you have seen me. 37 However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them. 38 For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do what I want.
DO
We have developed a societal attitude that if you think it and say it, it is done. Wrong. A Christ like life is a life that is changed. We are saved by grace and we live by the direction of the Holy Spirit who lives in us. Our call is to do what He says and to spend our life seeking to do His will not ours. Let the Lord have control of you. Give your cares and worries to Him.
09/25 John 6:34-35
“Sir,” they said, “give us that bread every day of our lives.” 35 Jesus replied, “I am the bread of life. No one who comes to me will ever be hungry again. Those who believe in me will never thirst.
BELIEVE
Do you believe in Jesus? If you do you have 100% access to the Lord. You belong to Him. He has your welfare at the center of His heart. Jesus loves you.
09/24 John 6:30-33
They replied, “You must show us a miraculous sign if you want us to believe in you. What will you do for us? 31 After all, our ancestors ate manna while they journeyed through the wilderness! As the Scriptures say, ‘Moses gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ” 32 Jesus said, “I assure you, Moses didn’t give them bread from heaven. My Father did. And now he offers you the true bread from heaven. 33 The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
WANT
We want: right now, all the time, what we don’t have, and what we shouldn’t have. The Lord knows our need. He will meet our need. We need to learn to trust the Lord and to commit our way to the Lord. Follow Jesus and He will deal with your want.
