“My Food Is To Do The Will Of Him

Who Sent Me”

In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”

But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”

Therefore the disciples said to one another, “Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?”

Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.

John 4:31-34

Jesus sensed the confusion when he spoke of “food” His disciples knew nothing about. He explained that His food was to do the will of His Father and to finish the work given to Him.

Jesus invites all of us to trust His ability to satisfy the deepest needs of our hearts. As we do, we discover how to live not just by our physical appetites but by the soul-satisfying Spirit of our God.

Only Christ the Living Bread

can satisfy the world’s spiritual hunger.
