Jesus referred to himself as "the living bread which came down from heaven" and that whoever "eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life." (John 6:51a,54a). However, we are not to confuse this with Holy Communion, also known as the Lord's Supper. Rather, Jesus is telling us that he is the living Word of God, which we need to nourish our faith so that we may live forever in Heaven.

This Easter we look not just at Jesus' resurrection, but also the resurrection of many believers who were already entombed when he gave up his spirit on the cross. These resurrections are proof of the victory Christ won over sin and death, and they show us that, for believers, death is merely a sleep for the body.

When we spread the good news of free salvation in Jesus Christ to our friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers, we are fishers of men and women. However, just like with regular fishing, we must understand there is an investment required, and we must understand how to use the tools we have been given.

Just as the people of Israel were given a choice -- allow God to deliver them into the promised land or perish in the desert -- we also have a choice: true life, which is eternal life in the salvation of God, or true death, which is a sinful life in this world.

Worldly labor and gains are momentary, but our purpose in life is to share the gospel with others.

What kind of judge do you already have? One who has given you life, and then uses you to give others life. One who is clear about the expectations (you are declared righteous). One who has perfect harmony with the Father. One who deserves all honor because He is true God and He has saved you.

We must understand Jesus' deity, the life, and the power of His Word.

The law kills but the Spirit gives life; this new life is conducted in union with Christ; this union means death and life.
