“Believe In Him
Whom He Has Sent”
When they found him on the other side
of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” Jesus answered
them, “Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw
signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food
that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of
Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal.” Then
they said to him, “What must we do to perform the works of God?” Jesus answered
them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in
him whom he has sent.” So they said to him, “What sign are you going to give us
then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you performing? Our
ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them
bread from heaven to eat.’” Then Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you,
it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who
gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes
down from heaven and gives life to the world.” They said to him, “Sir, give us
this bread always.”
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.”
The reasons people give for not
believing God often boil down to something they want God to do to prove
Himself. If we do that, we fail to see all the miracles He has already
performed in creating the world, in creating us, and in our daily lives.
Instead of waiting in doubt and
disappointment for God to do the things we demand of Him, take the time to look
at everything God has already done for you.
What we know
of God encourages us to trust Him
in all we don’t
know.
