Have you ever pulled out a loaf of bread to make a sandwich, only to find that it's covered in nasty green mold? Moldy bread is only good for the trash can - it's a disappointment and a waste. The shelf life of bread is very short, and Jesus warns us not to work for food that spoils.
In John 6:27, Jesus tells us not to work for the food that perishes, but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. This statement is a powerful reminder that the things we often pursue in this life are temporary and will not satisfy us in the long run. Instead of putting our efforts into accumulating material possessions and fleeting pleasures, we should prioritize the things of God and seek eternal life through Him.
The curse of Adam, described in Genesis 3:17-19, illustrates the consequences of living in a fallen world. We struggle and toil as we work to provide for ourselves, often feeling like our efforts are in vain. However, through Christ, we can find hope for something better. We can have eternal life, which is a gift that cannot be earned but can only be received through faith in Him.
In John 6:29, Jesus tells us that the work of God is to believe in Him whom He has sent. This means making a commitment to follow Him and to prioritize His Kingdom above all else. It means living a life of love and service to others, seeking to bring glory to God in all that we do.
Lastly, in Matthew 6:11, Jesus reminds us to ask for our daily bread. This is not just about physical food, but also about trusting God to provide for all of our needs as we seek first His Kingdom.
The story of moldy bread serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of many things we work so hard for in this life. We should not work for things that will perish, but for things that have lasting value. By prioritizing the things of God and trusting in Him to provide for our needs, we can experience the abundant life that He offers and find true fulfillment in Him.
