I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger. —John 6:35
When Jesus lived on this earth, He invited people to come to Him, and He still does today (John 6:35). But what do He and His Father in heaven have that we need?
Salvation. Jesus is the only way to have forgiveness of sin and the promise of heaven. “Whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:15).
Purpose. We are to give all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength to following Jesus. “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me” (Mark 8:34).
Comfort. In trial or sorrow, the “God of all comfort . . . comforts us in all our tribulation” (2 Cor. 1:3-4).
Wisdom. We need wisdom beyond our own for making decisions. “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, . . . and it will be given to him” (James 1:5).
Strength. When we’re weary, “the Lord will give strength to His people” (Ps. 29:11).
Abundant life. The fullest life is found in a relationship with Jesus. “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).
Jesus said, “The one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out” (John 6:37). Come!
How can I grow closer to God today?
Jesus invites us to come to Him for life.
我就是生命的粮，到我这里来的，必定不饿。-约翰福音6章35节
耶稣在世上时邀请人到祂那里，今天祂仍如此行（约翰福音6章35节） 。我们能从耶稣和祂的天父那里得到什么呢？
得拯救。耶稣是使我们罪得赦免进入天堂应许的唯一途径。耶稣「叫一切信祂的，不至灭亡，反得永生」（约翰福音3章16节） 。
得目标。我们必须全心、全意、全性、全力来跟随耶稣。耶稣说：「若有人要跟从我，就当舍己，背起他的十字架来跟从我。」（马可福音8章34节）
得安慰。在试炼或哀伤中，「赐各样安慰的上帝……在一切患难中，祂就安慰我们」（哥林多后书1章3-4节）。
得智慧。我们需要超越自己聪明的智慧来做决定。「你们中间若有缺少智慧的，应当求……上帝，主就必赐给他」（雅各书1章5节）。
得力量。当我们疲惫时，「耶和华必赐力量给祂的百姓」（诗篇29篇11节）。
得丰盛生命。与耶稣建立亲密的关系可以得到最丰盛的生命。「我来了，是要叫人得生命，并且得的更丰盛」（约翰福音10章10节） 。
耶稣说：「到我这里来的，我总不丢弃他」（约翰福音6章37节） 。快到耶稣这里来吧！
今天我要如何与上帝更加亲近？
耶稣邀请我们到祂那里得丰盛生命。
