God Still Speaks

Have you ever wondered why Jesus only walks on the water when there is wind and a storm? Why dosn't he walk on the water when it is calm? I don't know the answer, but I thought it was a good question. Jesus tells the people that were waiting for him to get some more free food, to not be concerned about perishable things like food, but to spend your energy seeking eternal life. What he is saying here is to get priorities in order, that spiritual things have more eternal value than physical things. We do just the opposite in western christainity. We spend the majority of our time in life on perishable things. Things that have noi eternal value, things that soon waste away and disappear. What a question they ask here, "What does God want us to do?" He answered, "This is what God wants you to do: Believe in the one he has sent." How simple, just beleive. Doesn't get any more dificult than that, just beleive! Act upon what you beleive in, be a doer of the word and not a hearer only.
