John 6:22-44

22 The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone. 23 Then some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. 24 Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.

Jesus the Bread of Life
25 When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”

26 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. 27 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.”

28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

30 So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[a]”

32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”

35 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. 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

41 At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”

43 “Stop grumbling among yourselves,” Jesus answered. 44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.

May 19th It’s the blood!  

“How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” HEBREWS 9:14
It is the pollution within that turns me in on myself. It is the pollution that makes me feel that I have to do something more. It is the inward contamination that causes a conscience to be uneasy. But how much more shall the blood of Christ cleanse my conscience from all those dead works to serve the living God! This means that there is a contamination in my being whenever I try to work out something religiously before God. But the blood cleanses my conscience from that. Here, it does not say “from sin.” It says “from dead works.” Because of this cleansing, we have instant, constant access to participate in God Himself.
What blood! It has done a work in the heavens to cleanse the heavens, and it has done a work in my heart to give me a true heart, so that I might be a participator in God Himself. The value of the blood is beyond our comprehension. To God it means so much. To the heavens it is the gathering factor of all the multitudes of saints through the ages. That is why, in the book of Revelation, those who are “out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation” are singing, “It’s the blood!” My grandfather through marriage knew the Lord in a real way. When he was over ninety years old, he became ill and was confined to his bed. At that time, some of the family members wondered if Grandpa was getting a little senile because he kept repeating a phrase — “It’s the blood.” These words just kept coming out of him — “It’s the blood. It’s the blood.” When I heard that some of the relatives were wondering if Grandpa was losing his keenness of mind, I thought to myself, “No, I think Grandpa has one foot in the glory and one foot on the earth, and he sees that it’s the blood. It’s the precious blood of Jesus.” And, no doubt, when we are in the heavens with that multitude in the festal gathering, we are all going to say, “It’s the blood! You have redeemed us to God by Your blood.”
