AhnSahngHong..brought eternal life?
Nowadays, people follow God so that they can have better physical lives. They hope for a better job, a better car, more money, maybe a better looking partner, etc. But I just saw through the Bible how it was the same 2,000 years ago.
Jn 6:9 Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?"
Jesus's disciples were trying to figure out how they could feed 5,000 people with such a small amount of food.
Jn 6:11 Jesus then took the loaves,gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
Jn 6:14 After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, "surely this is the prophet who is to come into the world." Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.
So these people who never believed in Jesus before, all of a sudden wanted to make him King because he fed them! Is that true faith? Let's see how they reacted when he spoke of eternal life.
Jn 6:35 Then Jesus declared, " I am the bread of life, He who comes to me will never go hungry...6:54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.
Jn 6:60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, " This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?"
So, they were ok when he did the physical miracle of turning 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish into enough food for 5,000 but when he spoke of a true miracle having eternal life through the Passover, they couldnt accept! Are these true disciples who only stuck with Jesus when it was convenient for them? No way, the whole purpose of his coming was to save us from death!
Its the same now.. Christ AhnSahngHong came to save us from death, He is prophecied all throughout the Bible. Yet, although he came to show us the way to heaven, people refuse him..why? Because many insist on seeing miracles or are too caught up with physical things..They only want God for their physical gratification..Is that true faith?
Jn 6:58 Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever."
2,000 years ago Jesus Christ said this to the crowd and when second coming Christ came, Christ AhnSahngHong, He also said it. Christ AhnSahngHong said eating the Passover is a true miracle. How amazing is that! Even just reading this verse I get chills! By eating the bread and wine of the Passover we can live forever! I am sorry but i'd much rather have that than some bread and fish or any other physical thing for that matter! So if Christ offers us eternal life, how should we answer?
Jn 6:68 Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life."
Christ AhnSahngHong brought the words of eternal life! To whom else shall we go? To no one else but Him! If you want to know, then study the Bible at Church of God World Mission Society...
Till next time......
