Purpose in Christ

I write a lot about purpose because I believe that true purpose is not our will but doing the will of God. For He created us for His purpose and to play a role in His Grand plan. Today the Holy Spirit lead me to John 6. When the people who had been fed by bread and fish came searching for Jesus, they had a powerful session. Jesus told them that they were searching because He had filled this longing need, a taste of heaven. Jesus had touched something in them that they could not explain but knew that it was necessary.

Pay attention to v.28 &29. The people ask what they must do to do God's works. Or to do their purpose. Jesus said believe in me. Then Jesus continues with His famous sermon. He is the bread of heaven and He was sent to do the Father's will. Whoever works for food that endures, whoever believes that He was sent by the Father will not lack anything and will not be driven away. I see a promise here, that as long as I invest time, energy, and resources for God...therein my purpose will be revealed in Christ. The only requirement is simple = believe in the Son of God. The promise is that there's nothing I can do or not do that will separate me from Jesus. He will never drive me away...or like God's promise..He will never forsake me.

How amazing that we have a Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit who invite us into this heavenly romance and we are free to come...and we'll NEVER BE REJECTED!!!! Where we can blossom and grow in Christ. That's awesome covering right there :o) Jesus is here preaching about welcoming everyone to the safety of His covering and at the end...they up and leave. Typical. He offers we reject and sin. But He still maintains His offer even to our last day. A God who was rejected but still chose to die for all because He LOVES US! My desire is to be worthy of such love, to praise Him for such Love, to trust always no matter the circumstance in such Love and promise.

God Bless!!!!
