Things that make you go hmmmmm BY: KB © 1.3.15

Yesterday I was fighting some type of stomach cootie and I struggled to focus on anything. I was reading like a dyslexic on caffeine, all over the page. I still have the remnants of whatever it is this morning but the Lord has me up reading and writing....with that being said, I switched up a bit and read one of my favorite devotionals: My Utmost for His Highest.

Today's reading was how someone who really doesn't know Christ takes an over simplified and casual approach to His words and precepts.

The word and teachings are not overly complicated but you're approaching it incorrectly if you're not being drawn in to get the "word" attached to the word, leading to the message. What do I mean?  Like any good love...the initial attraction should prompt you to learn more......


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary: John 6:60-65 The human nature of Christ had not before been in heaven, but being God and man, that wondrous Person was truly said to have come down from heaven. The Messiah's kingdom was not of this world; and they were to understand by faith, what he had said of a spiritual living upon him, and his fullness. As without the soul of man the flesh is of no value, so without the quickening Spirit of God all forms of religion are dead and worthless. He who made this provision for our souls, alone can teach us these things, and draw us unto Christ, that we may live by faith in him. Let us apply to Christ, thankful that it is declared that everyone who is willing to come unto him shall be made welcome.
