God Still Speaks

The people followed Jesus to see what he would do for them and what he might give them. When he told them about partaking of Him, they got all offended. The same is going on today, people come to Christ to see what it is that He will do for them. Pay a bill, heal some desease, pull off some last minute miracle, but when He begins to deal with them about how their relationship is with him, they too get offended. To accept Christ is to accept Him whether He ever does anything for us or not. We don't come to Him for what he can do for us, rather for what He as done for us. He has provided eternal life, salvation, healing, deliverance, blessings, prosperity. He wants us to walk with him everyday, to be His friend. A human frienship doesn't last long when one of the two is always asking for something, begging to recieve a blessing here or there. Jesus is generous and desires to bless us, but that blessing comes from relationship with him. The same way that a husband wants to bless his family with material things, so God desires to bless us too. You will find that out of relationship every need will be met. John 15 talks about abiding in Him and His words abiding in us, then we will ask what we will and it will be done.
