Gospel Reflections #708: It's not working for it, it is receiving it

John 6:32 "I tell you plainly. Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but my Father will give you the true bread from heaven."

God has placed priests and prophets in each biblical age to show us His will, but while we see how priests and prophets seem to be giving us spiritual nourishment, Jesus makes it clear that this is not the case.

We judge all things by what we see, hear, and experience, and we try to decide what is right and wrong.

But what God gives us comes from heaven and is given to us by God the Father through Jesus.

We can only believe in what we can see, we can only judge and see the results in our own strength, and we have a hard time receiving and surrendering.

God is not asking us to do anything, but to receive and taste what He is about to give us.

We should not convert what God has given us into something that fits the values of the world, but rather, we should have the spiritual capacity to taste and enjoy what God has given us to the fullest.

We want to share and rejoice with God.

God has established the Sabbath so that we can realize this.
