Looking For a Free Meal

“Jesus answered them and said, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled. Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life...” (John 6:26-27).

Many churches fool themselves into believing that the way to people’s hearts is through their stomachs. They think that if they offer free meals that that will draw souls to Christ. However, the only food that the apostles used to draw souls to Christ was the gospel of Christ. Paul said, “for the kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Rom. 14:17). Jesus Himself set the priority: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matt. 4:4); and again, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled” (5:6).

Well, friends....what are you hungry for?
