--Submission and Humility/ Required by Christ Jesus -LIFE IN CHRIST -John 6:25-40 -"I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry...I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." --(John 6:35, 8:12) --PASTOR GEORGE--a dear, humble, man of God--came to Okinawa as a retired minister of a huge church in California. We became friends, and through his ministry, the church grew. While truck-loads of Marines wearing combat boots, camouflaged pants and white T-shirts filled the front rows of the church, Pastor George shared his love of Jesus and the Gospel. Everyone left knowing he'd been in the Lord's presence. As a young missionary, I wondered how this man could radiate our Savior so well. He shared how over many years of ministry he tried to find God in even more personal ways. He pleaded for spiritual gifts, dropped to the floor prostrate in prayer, sat in silence, memorized scripture... but it wasn't until he focused on Jesus in the Gospels, meditation on the stories of God's Son that he felt the satisfaction of the Bread of Life and brightness of the Light of the World. As the song by Bill Gaither says, "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus! There's something about that Name!" It's Jesus' name that fills us to overflowing. --- --Jesus Christ is Heaven's Bread which satisfies our hunger for God. We are carriers of God's grace. Share His Word today. 'There is no other Name given among men whereby we must be saved, 'JESUS'! // THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THAT NAME, JESUS=Maranatha/Gaither< http://youtu.be/XeL3yngDpMg> -------
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
