John 6:30-33
30So they said to Him, “What sign then do You do so that we shall see and believe You? What are You working? 31Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it has been written, ‘He gave to them bread out of heaven to eat.’” [Exod 16: 4; Neh 9: 15; Psalm 78: 24] 32So Jesus said to them, “Most positively, I say, Moses has not given the bread out of heaven, but My Father gives the true bread out of heaven. 33For the bread of God is the One coming down out of heaven and giving life to the world.”
Good Day Child of God! "Father? Your Will Be Done!" Never before has the thought that typing the Studies was so important as it is right now. As I look around the world, I see what may be a time that people need to take God seriously, and have all the tools to do so, yet I see very few doing just that.
Could there be a better time in history than right now to look at God, look at those that call Him Lord, and take an interest in what is Truth? ISIS alone and all its completed goals gets your attention, and for good reason, they are effective fighters for their cause, but I don't see Christians looking into their Scriptures and coming to a conclusion about God. All I hear and see are all kinds of talking heads on so-called Christian TV shows discussing the end times, which does nothing for your relationship with the Father, or for the terrible suffering that Jesus did to save you from darkness.
Today's easy lesson: "Signs, signs, everywhere a sign, do this, don't do that, can't you see the sign?" Perhaps you remember these song lyrics from about 50 years ago. You can say all you want about the terrible 1960's but one thing that happened was wonderful. The teenagers of that day found that the church sects they were brought up in were too stifling, so they started to read their Bibles and found the Freedom in Christianity. Unfortunately, they mixed it with sex, drugs, and rock and roll, and it became what we have today. A mixed up, troubled, twisted Faith that took the Freedom in Christ Jesus and bound it in a whole new set of rites, rules and adventures such a tongues, baptisms in the Holy Spirit and all that can mean, and on and on. The outsiders and unbelievers look at it all as though Christians are plainly without a brain in their collective heads. To that end, they feel it is just fine to make fun of Christians, God, Jesus, and make waste of something that is the most serious issue in everyone's life.
What is the message? The Jewish leadership above wanted Jesus to prove by a sign what He claimed to be. They pointed to Moses and manna as proof that God was real, but they believed more in Moses' leadership than looking to God. God had to allow that generation to die off before the Promised Land was breached and the ramifications were many. By the time the hardened hearts were gone, the Tribes entered the land but at great cost, the land that needed them forty years prior was still there but the takers were not the same, and it seemed as if God's power over them had become rote, expected, without reality. Today? Christians don't think it through. Their church likes to stay comfortable in false teachings, and won't allow the Freedom of Love, Peace, Joy, Calm, Gentleness, Kindness, Patience, and Self-Control to take them to places here on earth that cannot otherwise be found. This is serious Students, like the Israelites, there is a resistance to Truth, and just as Jesus is not happy with the "pastors" challenging His authority, nor does He shy away from telling them so. Jesus speaks Truth for the sake of Truth, and there is nothing in His immediate future that will show any gain for Him at all, just punishment, abandonment, a Cross, and a Grave. Please, I implore you again; Pray, read, think, repeat. Just a paragraph a day, and speak to your Abba, Daddy, Father so that you will be ready for any and everything. Have a Grace Day!
