Jesus Is Life

Though we are alive, separation from God means that we are dead and lost. We are in need of life. We can only receive this life through Jesus Christ, who is life and gives life.

In the text for today, Jesus tells the crowd that whoever eats...

O Lord, I want to abide in you and for you to abide in me so that I may live abundantly, as you intend for all your people. Amen.

Resumen de la Escritura

God had prevented David from building a temple in Jerusalem but then permitted David’s son Solomon to build it. In First Kings, Solomon places the ark of the covenant in the holiest place, and God’s presence descends. The psalmist rejoices in the Temple and would rather be in its courts than anywhere else because that is where God dwells. The New Testament readings remind us that the people of God have always met with resistance. The author of Ephesians compares living the Christian life to going into battle, so we must be prepared. Jesus also meets with resistance in John. His teachings are too hard for many to accept, so they abandon him. When we face resistance, therefore, we should not be surprised; but we are also not alone.
