John 6:22-29

A very happy Monday to you. We have two great Signs performed by Jesus in today’s gospel passage. Remember that the gospel of John is the only gospel in which the word “MIRACLE” is not used. Yes in this gospel there are no miracles just signs. Signs point to something, we don’t arrive at the sign, we keep going. The hope is we arrive at that place in our lives where we can see that Jesus is indeed Son of God, the Logos who was there from the very beginning.

My mind though leads me somewhere else today. Did you notice how the people got in their boats and went searching for Jesus. Read the passage one more time and catch that little detail. Yes Jesus seems irritated by them but their hunger for him picks my interest and raises the question. Am I hungry for God? Does my soul yearn for Him in my life? Getting into their boats they crossed the sea searching for Him. You know my friend that the boat is our lives. As we see signs that point to Him, may we continue the journey of faith. I know you are searching

Love you more than you will ever know.
