THE LIVING BREAD

“Anyone who eats the bread from heaven, however, will never die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will live forever; and this bread, which I will offer so the world may live, is my flesh.””
‭‭John‬ ‭6:50-51‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I believe in everlasting life! Will everyone live forever? I can’t imagine to co-exist with evil, not even the evil within me,  in eternity. I believe  there will be a separation .... eternal life or eternal death. Next, how can I live forever? How would you make your way to eternity?

I definitely can’t make my on way to heaven, to eternal life. First I don’t know the way. I need the One who comes from heaven to show me the way. Second, if it’s based on my goodness, effort, and charity  will I ever be good enough to live forever? I need the dispensation, the absolution, from the Owner of Life, God our Creator! I need His grace! I need His mercy! 

Jesus was sent down to earth for this purpose, to open and show us the way to heaven, to pay all our debts, to redeem us from sin with His life, and to feed us with the living bread. We can now go to heaven based on Jesus’ merit! Let’s feed on this Living Bread... surrender our old (broken) life to Him and let Him grant us His life as His Spirit begins to dwell in us! 

That’s why the Eucharist (Communion) is important to us. We meet the Living Christ  each time we come to His Table and continue to be fed by His Living Bread, His grace! 

Jesus, our Living Bread, we thank you for the gift of your life that strengthen us to live ours! May we never take the gift of your presence for granted!

BIBLE, THE WAY TO HEAVEN (2 Timothy 3:10-17—Preacher: Ps Paw Liang) I want to know one thing: the way to heaven. God himself has condescended to teach me the way. He has written it down in a book. Oh, give me that book! At any price give me that book of God. Let me be homo unius libri – a man of one book . (John Wesley’s Prayer) What does the Bible mean to you? False teachings was one of the issues faced by the early church. Paul reminds us, the Bible is the way to heaven, the way of God, the way of life. We need to be rooted in the Bible firmly. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” The Bible should be the foundation of our life and ministry. in discerning the teachings in our time and in setting direction for our church. The Methodist Quadrilateral do not have equal weigh. Rather, Tradition, Reason, and Experience should...

THE TRUE JOY "The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.” However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭10:17, 20‬ ‭NIV‬‬ What's the source of your joy? The 72 disciples proudly report to Jesus all they had done and achieved. Jesus reminded them that their joy comes from their relationship with Him not their achievements for him! How is your relationship with God? Come as you are not as what you've achieved. You matter more to God than all your achievements, vice versa God should matter most to you than what He has done for you! Happy Thursday! May the joy of the Lord remain in you always! ~plt130717 # pltwrites   # whatmattermost   # thejoyoftheLord   # Luke10
