“God’s Seal of Approval”

 “God’s Seal Of Approval”

 

“But don’t be so concerned about perishable things like food.  Spend your energy seeking the Eternal Life that the Son of Man can give you.  For God the Father has given Me the Seal of His Approval.”    John 6:27

 

 

This verse of Scripture, is the Words of the Lord Jesus Christ.  He was talking to a crowd of people who had, the day before, watched Jesus turn FIVE barley loaves of bread and two fish that belonged to a young boy, into BASKETS FULL of BREAD and FISH, enough to FEED the HUGE CROWD of PEOPLE that had come to SEE and HEAR this Man, called JESUS.  And not only was there enough food to feed the HUNGRY CROWD, but they had BASKETS FULL left over.  

 

The next day, the crowd showed up again, and when they found Jesus, on the other side of the lake, they asked Him;  “Rabbi, when did you get here?”  Jesus replied, “ I tell you the truth, you want to be with Me because I fed you not because you understood the miraculous signs.”  To them it was an easy way to get a meal.  And they FAILED to grasp what the significance was with the miraculous signs.  So the message Jesus gave them was:  DON’T be SO CONCERNED about perishable things like FOOD.  He was saying that they SHOULD NOT expend their ENERGY and EFFORTS on the PERISHABLE things, but they SHOULD spend their ENERGY and EFFORTS SEEKING the things THAT will LAST FOREVER.  The SPIRITUAL things that will lead them to ETERNAL LIFE.

 

PHYSICAL FOOD does NOT LAST, but SPIRITUAL FOOD is ETERNAL.  And ONLY the Son of Man, which is a title that JESUS used for Himself, can give you this SPIRITUAL FOOD, which is JESUS CHRIST, Himself.  JESUS is the BREAD of LIFE, a DIFFERENT KIND of BREAD, to EAT this BREAD, actually means to BELIEVE on the LORD JESUS CHRIST, and to CONTINUALLY TRUST in Him to SUSTAIN YOU.  It is, to COME to Him for your SALVATION, and to SEE Him,  For it is the Father’s Will that ALL who SEES His Son and BELIEVES in Him SHOULD have ETERNAL LIFE. (V40).  This means they COULD have ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN.  This is why GOD the FATHER has given JESUS CHRIST His SEAL of APPROVAL.  And that makes it OFFICIAL:  JESUS is the HEAVENLY FOOD!!   Have you partaken of this HEAVENLY FOOD?  

 

If you have NOT COME to HIM and SEEN HIM, and BELIEVE in HIM, then you do not have the SPIRITUAL FOOD that you NEED to receive ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS, and to ESCAPE an ETERNAL LIFE in HELL with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE once you are there.  In order to PARTAKE of this HEAVENLY FOOD, you MUST be CALLED by God’s HOLY SPIRIT, to COME to CHRIST and to GIVE your HEART and LIFE to Him.  You MUST BELIEVE that He is the SON of GOD and the ONLY WAY to HAVE ETERNAL LIFE is THROUGH Him.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS died for YOU.  And that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  YOU MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION, and PARTAKE of this HEAVENLY FOOD, because it is the ONLY WAY to have ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN.  And it DOES have GOD’S SEAL of APPROVAL!  So, do this NOW, while you STILL can, because He is WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!
