The Meat Of Jesus

"Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work."  John 4:34.  Do we listen when Jesus speaks?  We are to listen to Him, and do as He says.  His words are life.  Jesus speaks about His work to His disciples.  He explains to them that He has a purpose.  Every soul has a purpose before God.  That purpose is to be the purpose which Jesus had.  Jesus always sought to do the will of the Father.  That will was never questioned by Him.  His life's work was to be pleasing unto the Father.  That is our work.  Many seek only to do what pleases them.  They seek their own will.  The life of many is about themselves.  But, this is not the path of those who are followers of Jesus.  We seek to do the will of the Father.  The work which Jesus was sent to do was to bring redemption to humanity.  Humanity had lost its way.  Jesus sought to bring us back into a right relationship with God.  That was His daily meat.  That was the source of His life.  Meat is necessary to sustain life.  Physical meat will do that.  But, what about our spiritual meat?  This meat sustains the soul and gives eternal life.  That was the work which Jesus desired to finish.
