Text for the Day -- John 6:35-40
----------
Jesus said to them, 'I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will
never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.
Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and anyone who
comes to me I will never drive away; for I have come down from
heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. And
this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of
all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. This is
indeed the will of my Father, that all who see the Son and believe in
him may have eternal life; and I will raise them up on the last day.'
Devotional
----------
Death appears larger than we are. We face death and everything else
fades away. Who is big enough to handle this deep human reality?
Jesus steps forward and says, "I can." He declares that whoever lives
and believes in him shall live forever. This is God's gift to the
world. God presents his Son, Jesus, to the world and says, "believe
in him and trust that on the last day you will be raised up."
Prayer
----------------
Lord, I believe, help my unbelief. Amen
