John 6:44–51
Jesus said, 'No one can come to me unless
drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last
day. It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by God.'
Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me. Not that anyone
has seen the Father except the one who is from God; he has seen the Father.
Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of
life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is
the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I
am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will
live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my
flesh.'"
Reflection
What are the lasting sources of life and
nourishment?
Can I look with honesty at how I spend my
resources and energies?
