Come & Trust - Part 2
John 6:29 "Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
the original word to believe = to trust. Why is it work to trust? Because it doesn't come easy. Grace is not opposed to effort, but to earning. We are making every effort to grow in our love and trust in God/Jesus. Last week we looked at Satan leading Adam & Eve astray by planting doubt, making them Look at the fruit, Desire its "benefits" so that they will Take a bite.
Jesus chooses his words very carefully when he said: You need to eat my flesh. He reconstructs the pattern that Satan had tought us: Look at Jesus - Desire Jesus - Eat Jesus.
Practically - let us grow in wisdom (Psalm 1&2 are great starting points) , let us not be found walking in the counsel of the wicked, standing in the way of sinners or sitting with those that mock the truth. Let's have honest conversations with God and one another. Be known by God and others and know God and others. Meditate, ordinary repetition is radical and changes us. And let's be grateful. We have so much to be grateful for!
