SAA Notes
What is the food that endures to eternal life? (v.27) Jesus declares that He too is as meek as Moses – He has come to do God’s will. Jesus concludes his discourse with a reference to the last day.
SJA Notes
* Almighty God, You are holy – Please work within us today.
“… That everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
To look on the Son!
To look on Jesus!
Sir, we would see Jesus today.
Sir, give us this bread always.
As with the bronze serpent in the old testament – lifted up, those who looked on it were saved from the plague (saved from an earthly travail) – so for us we are saved when we look upon Jesus as believe in Him (in a much greater and deeper and better way, saved from hellfire, a salvation of the soul).
Jesus is the water of life. Jesus is the bread of life. Jesus satisfies eternity that is set in our hearts.
In Jesus we find eternal life. True meaning and identity. True happiness. True rest.
This is our Saviour!
* Dear Lord God,
Please help us to see Jesus today.
Help us to tell others about Him, the bread of life, the water that wells up to eternal life.
Thank You for saving us from our sin.
Amen.
