The Gospel of John 4:31-33 When God Says...I Say, AMEN!

When God Says …

“In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?” (John 4:31-33 KJV).

These passages dropped a 'bombshell' of revelation to the disciples and to many of us, perhaps. Being in the place of the disciples, who may have foraged the city for food, hungry and tired from their journey, we can understand their concern pleading for their Master and Rabbi to eat. For sure they're stunned with the Lord's response, as we would too. And, it is logical for them to suspect that someone may have already provided Him food and of course had already eaten. That would be a fair assumption. But, as the Lord would further reveal, they'd certainly be more astounded.

Unbeknownst to them and to many of us, who hear it for the first time, this is the prelude for us to encounter a paradigm lift. This should prepare us to shift to higher perspective in life. This opens us a new window to view higher horizons of living. This we can experience not in the physical dimension. We must shift into the spiritual realm by being born again through believing in the Only Begotten Son of God our Lord Jesus Christ, which the Lord declared to Nicodemus (John 3:3).

We should be reminded that we're created a spirit being. That's truly who we are, having been created in the likeness of God (Genesis 1:26). This flesh, we can see and touch, is just a molded dust (Genesis 2:7). Hence, our true sustenance is not only the physically baked bread. As God's children of grace by faith in Christ, we are to have this in our heart, as the Lord Jesus was tempted by the devil in the midst of physical hunger, this truth was revealed: “And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”” (Matthew 4:3-4 ESV)

And I say, AMEN!
