John 6:27 That Endureth Unto Everlasting Life

John 6:27 (KJV) Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

Labour that will truly profit is that labour not for the meat of this world, but for the meat which endureth unto everlasting life. This is the reward that Christ will give to His own at His coming for those who follow Him and forsake the world. Our Lord exhorts the church to profitable labour to avoid suffering loss.

Time is precious and time past is time lost if not profitably lived. Here is our Lord’s wise exhortation to seek God and the things that will endure, that is the souls and the enrichment of the soul and the souls of men in the things of God.

May the Lord grant His people profitable that endureth to everlasting life. Amen.
