This Week's Gospel Reading
“Loving Sustenance”
​
“No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”
​
Book of Yochanan/John 6:44-51

Elohim openly invites us into the Fold of the Kingdom. In the person of Ben Elohim, we accept this invitation of love. While we often turn our face from Him, offering our back towards Him in indifference, Elohim continues to hold open the door of invitation into redemption; ““Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.” – {Book of Hhazon/Revelation 3:20}. That He remains at the door calling us to enter fully illustrates His unending and eternal love He holds for each of us. In patient kindness, Y’shua remains standing in welcome to offer salvation; it is our determined choice to accept or to spur. “I will raise Him on the last day.” – {Book of Yochanan/John 6:40}
​
This is Elohim’s eternal promise which yet today remains the foundation of our hope in Faith. Yet as we remain unworthy, this promise is given to us the moment we free our minds and break the yokes of our heart in emancipation of our darker nature and believe in Him and welcome fully into our heart and soul. We become heirs of His kingdom living in the determined peace, harmony and in His light for eternity. Yet, there is the time in between. While we mature walking along our earthly journey, we require nourishment just as the Israelites were nourished by the manna from heaven amidst the wilderness. We draw near to the delightful buffet of life sustenance that is the Love of Yehoshua… our sustaining bread of life. “Whoever believes has eternal life.” – {Book of Yochanan/John 3:36}
​
Faith is the source of our strength which brings us to endure and to continue along our journey. Faith is accepting Jesus as the bread of life, the source of nourishment and strength which sustains our soul. In the love of Yehoshua within us, Ben Elohim (the Son of G-d) becomes our sole pathway to our Father. Yehoshua is our truth and the smoke by day and the fire by night which guides our path of faith which is reflected in our thoughts, words and deeds that we may be made worthy to dwell in eternity within His presence.
