Labor Day

"When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, 'Rabbi, when did you come here?' Jesus answered them, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not labor for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.' Then they said to him, 'What must we do, to be doing the works of God?' Jesus answered them, 'This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.'"- John 6:25-29

The crowds heard one word. Labor. This lead them to ask Jesus, "What must we do?"

Jesus brilliantly explains to them what this work or labor is...that we believe in Him. This is the work of God, not man.

Lord, help our unbelief.
