Bible Verse of the Day Saturday October 29th, 2022

John 6:38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.

In this verse, Jesus unambiguously clarifies why He had come to earth and from where He had come. The objective of the incarnation happened so that the Son would carry out the will of the Father. Therefore, it is the Father's will that there would be no one on earth that did not benefit from the sacrifice on the Cross of Calvary that the Son was going to make. Furthermore, the Father had willed all that came to Christ Jesus and placed their faith and trust in Him as the true promised Messiah would experience salvation.

The last day is the day of the resurrection of all followers and believers in Christ Jesus when it occurs. But, of course, we do not know when that will be, only that it is imminent because the Angel of the Lord made that promise on behalf of God at the ascension of Christ Jesus (Acts 1:11).

This truth in God's Word that Christ Jesus is returning for His children is of the utmost comfort and reassurance to all who have placed their faith and trust in Jesus. Our assurance is not on our meager and frail hold on Christ Jesus, but on His sure grasp on us, as His followers and believers (John 10:28).

Jesus reestablished His origin, which was in Heaven. Jesus was entirely God and Fully Human; however, Jesus fully surrendered to His Godly attribute. This way, He proclaimed that He was here on earth to do the will of the Father. Satan attempted to appeal to His human characteristics when Jesus was in the wilderness for forty days; however, Jesus reminded Satan of the truth of the Word of God.

The ones near Christ Jesus, while He was on the earth, saw the miracle of feeding the 5000. However, they missed the point entirely; all they saw was the physical bread and were blinded to the spiritual bread. In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus taught that we should ask this day for our daily bread, indicating that our heavenly Father knows our daily needs and will supply them daily (Matthew 6:32-34). This request also applies to our spiritual needs, our spiritual daily bread, which is the Word of God (Matthew 4:4). This is the aspect that the ones there that day at the feeding of the 5000 missed; they were more concerned with their stomachs than their immortal souls. Unfortunately, some today have fallen into that same snare of Satan's, as exampled by the prosperity gospel movement.

God will not reject anyone that accepts Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Therefore, our entry into eternal life with Christ Jesus has nothing to do with our worldly qualities or human status. Jesus has made it clear in this scripture verse and other places in the Bible that He and the Father are one in mind and spirit (John 10:28-30).
