John 6:35-40
Jesus Came to Earth to do God's Will
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 36 But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. 37 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. 38 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”
Jesus was always doing and following God's Will...He told the crowds following Him one day that He is the Bread of Life...Here is the Way He said this: Then Jesus declared, “I AM the bread of life...Whoever comes to Me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty...But as I told you, you have seen Me and still you do not believe...All those the Father gives Me will come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will never drive away...For I have come down from heaven not to do My Will but to do the Will of Him who sent Me...And this is the Will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of all those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day...For My Father’s Will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have Eternal Life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”...
So Jesus did the Will of His Father and not His Own Will...And in doing God's Will, He was obedient to God...He spoke the Truth, taught justice, showed us mercy and LOVE...He was and is always seeking God and God's Ways and God's Will...And He was always teaching about and helping those in need...
American Trappist Monk Thomas Merton said this about the Will of God: “How am I to know the will of God?...Even where there is no other more explicit claim on my obedience, such as a legitimate command, the very nature of each situation usually bears written into itself some indication of God’s will...For whatever is demanded by truth, by justice, by mercy, or by love must surely be taken to be willed by God...To consent to His will is, then, to consent to be true, or to speak truth, or at least to seek it...To obey Him is to respond to His will expressed in the need of another person, or at least to respect the rights of others...For the right of another man is the expression of God’s LOVE and God’s will...In demanding that I respect the rights of another God is not merely asking me to conform to some abstract, arbitrary law: He is enabling me to share, as His son, in His own care for my brother...No man who ignores the rights and needs of others can hope to walk in the light of contemplation, because his way has turned aside from truth, from compassion and therefore from God.”...
And for those who follow Jesus and do God's Will, Jesus says we shall have Eternal Life...
