Hungry and Thirsty, For What? - John 6:25-40 and Matthew 5:6 - Ronney Joey Webb.
When was the last time you were really hungry and thirsty? We go through life hungering and thirsting for food and water, but some of us spiritually malnourished.
What gives us life?
Jesus offers the ultimate food - a relationship with God the Father through the sacrifice of his life. He calls himself the bread of life. The only thing that satisfies the soul is the presence of Jesus.
What will sustain us in the hard times?
Hardship is a fact of life. Sometimes the very place that God wants to bring us allows us to have the greatest hunger for him. God led Abraham away from his home to a place in famine. What do we turn to when we find ourselves in tough circumstances? Do we turn to God’s word or do we turn to worldly things that numb our pain?
What are you hungry and thirsty for?
Are you hungry for the eternal peace of Jesus or are you hungry for the world’s fleeting pleasures? When we eat and drink of Jesus- fill our lives with Him - our soul is truly satisfied.
