We get Jesus...

Why are you into Jesus? Why do you love Jesus? Is it because of who He is? Is it because of what He has done for you on the cross?

John 6:26 - Jesus answered "I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your fill"

To often we come to Jesus not for what He did for us or for who he is, but we come to Jesus for what He can do for us. We become consumers of Jesus. We go to Jesus to make our lives in this world better, instead of focusing on eternity.

John 6:27 - "Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval."

Are you coming to Jesus for food that spoils? Or are you coming to Jesus for food that will endure forever?

If Jesus came to you today and told you He would give you your hearts desire, but in exchange you had to give up part of Him, would you take it? Would you take what ever 'that' is and give up a part of your relationship with Jesus?

Now take a hard look at your life right now, look at where you are at in life, the things you have, the things you cherish...what are you putting ahead of your relationship with Jesus? If your being honest, for most of us, we are already putting something ahead of our relationship with Jesus, we are already giving up a part of Him.

Lord, today I pray that we would be content in the mere fact that we get YOU! That we would walk away from the things of this world solely based on what You have already done for us. That we would walk away from the sin in our lives as we focus on You, and find that your love is sufficient for us. Amen.
