Beware of the No Carb/Low Carb Diet

No, I am not going to give dieting advice!  NOT what I do here!
Stay with me and my line of thinking (again you are going to see how my brain works!)

but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” John 6:32-33

Ah, now you see where I might be going!

We are so very diet conscious in our Western culture today...it permeates everything....our advertisements, our menus give calories...even the drive-thru menus!  It is on a majority of the magazine covers as you stand in line at most stores!  

IF only our spiritual diet got as much attention! 

Imagine headlines reading "Did you get your daily dose of "Bread" today!"

or commercials talking about all the benefits of consistent  and frequent spiritual workouts!

John Chapter 6 is all about the bread!  It starts out with the feeding of the five thousand with BREAD and fish. John 6

The next day Jesus was talking to the crowds that had followed Him.

Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.” John 6:26-27

He admonished them/us to not work for those things that are unsatisfying and have no lasting value.

 

So our spiritual diet really should be an all bread diet!

 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die.  I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” John 6:50-52
Weren't they missing the point?!  They were focused on the wrong thing....and taking Jesus literally instead of figuratively. 
 They were angered that someone could claim they could give life forever....only God could do that.  What they were missing was that Jesus WAS God!
We don't want to miss that!

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away."  John 6:35-37

Don't be hungry or thirsty again! Come to Him and He will not send you away!

Let's start our BREAD and WATER diet today!
