Bible Snack #16

He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked (1 John 2:6).
 
We’ve got four Gospels to tell us how Jesus walked, or behaved, on this earth. What marvels me is that not once is it recorded where He said, “No, I’m too tired.” He went wherever He was asked to go to minister to someone. It was never written that when He was challenged, He said, “Let’s talk about this privately.” He spoke out boldly. Jesus came for several purposes, but they are wrapped up in this one goal: To finish the work of God.
 
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work” (John 4:34).
 
“And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day,” (John 6:40).
 
What the Lord did in the six days of creation did not include providing everlasting life to those who fell with Adam. That’s us, kids. We fell. We need someone to pay the price of us to live with God forever. Thank God Jesus came and saved us! Now what’s His will for your life? Doing His will is your food, too!
