*How We Are Taught By God II*
/1Ho, every one who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
Hearken diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.
4 Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples./
*/Isaiah 55:1-4/*

(John 6:25-51)
Ú *We Labor for the Food That Endures To Eternal Life!*
*/Verses 27-31/*
Ú *We Come to Jesus For Life’s Greatest Satisfaction*!
*/Verses 35-40/*
Ú We Stop *[MURMURING]* At The Hard Stuff And Start Believing!
/41 //The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, //“I am the bread which came down from heaven.”//
42 They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know?
How does he now say, //‘I have come down from heaven’?”// 43 Jesus answered them, //“Do not murmur among yourselves.//
44 //No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.//
45 //It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’
Every one who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.// 46 //Not that any one has seen the Father except him who is from God; he has seen the Father.//
47 //Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.
*Verses 41-46*/
Ú We Eat The *[LIVING BREAD]* From Heaven!
/48 //I am the bread of life.//
49 //Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.//
50 //This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die.//
51 //I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh *Verses 48-51*/
/62 //Then what if you were to see the Son of man ascending where he was before?// 63 //It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.*
John 6:62-63*/
THE ROCK SOLID FOUNDATION
/67 //Jesus// said to the twelve, //“Do you also wish to go away?”// 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go?
You have the words of eternal life; 69 and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.* John 6:67-69*/
\\ Allow me to take a moment to express what an honor and privilege it is to share God’s Word with you each week.
I am delighted to be completing my eighth year with you this very Sunday.
And as I begin my ninth I am eternally grateful to my God, to my family, to my elders, and to my spiritual family here at Vaughn Hill; for the opportunities you graciously afford me to minister and preach from this pulpit.
Thank you so much.
The month of March will be over in the next three weeks and we are leading up to Celebration Sunday.
Our purpose is to reach into our community during March with effective evangelism.
To be effective we begin and end in prayerful mediation for the lost.
During the next three weeks God is giving us a tremendous opportunity to reach our community with the gospel.
Would you pray for the sunrise service at 6:30 and the morning worship at 9 that God will bring many lost souls that day to both of these events.
Will you also invite everyone you meet and know to share a true celebration of the resurrection of Jesus March 27th?
Your faith in Jesus is the key to our completing his will in the River Bend Area.
And it will produce a harvest for the kingdom.
Now I would like, with your permission, to finish the lesson I began last week.
Thank you for your patience and kindness.
Let’s review first.
We are studying how we learn from God. God makes this awesome promise In Isaiah 55:1-4.
He says, /“//1 //“Ho, every one who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come; buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
Hearken diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David.
4 Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples.”/
The invitation is to the thirsty, the hungry, and the poor to purchase the everlasting covenant without money.
God’s invitation to buy His eternal covenant is one of grace and mercy, and it cannot be purchased with gold, or silver, or human works.
It is paid for solely by the gift of Christ’s blood that you receive through faith in Jesus.
That is why Jesus tells us that the labor or work of God is faith in him.
When we toil to develop faith in the Son of Man we come to Jesus to receive the purchase price of his labor on the cross.
From him we have entered into the knowledge of God through faith which is the definition of eternal life.
Therefore the first point we made last week was that *we learn from God when; we labor for the food that endures to eternal life.*
When Jesus confronts the disciples in the synagogue at Capernaum the next day, after feeding the 5000, He says the work of God is to believe in the one whom God sent.
Isaiah helps us to understand what that work is with the metaphor of eating.
First God says to harken diligently; you’ve got to take a big bite of the gospel.
This means you sink your teeth into the Bible with deep faith.
Next God says, eat what is good or chew the story of salvation.
Thirdly, God says delight in the fatness or flavor of the gospel, which is the grace and mercy of God.
You need to take the time to savor the taste and flavor of God’s goodness.
Then fourthly, you need to digest it by inclining your ear so you can come to God through Jesus and continue to grow and learn.
You swallow it by taking it into your mind and heart.
It is in the digestion that food is turned into nourishment.
And it is in meditation that life flows into your spirit and soul.
God says in Isaiah 55 he will make an everlasting covenant with you from the nourishment you receive from his words.
This everlasting covenant is exemplified in King David’s relationship God.
In verse four God made David a witness and commander of his people.
David was chosen to be a witness to testify to us of the relationship God has with those who feed on his living bread.
In other words David, an O.T. man, has a N.T. relationship with God, because God cared for David with his sure steadfast love.
God is the only eternal Being who has always existed.
For him steadfast is of vast implication, and it means eternal, never ending, imperishable, and always.
So the covenant God makes with us is to love us forever with the love he has for David.
David has many good and bad qualities.
For all of his talent and success he had as many failures and blunders in his life.
Yet God loved him and he loves you equally through your success and failure.
Because he loves us in this way he gives us the blessing of never being spiritually hungry or thirsty.
This is the second point we discussed last week.
*We learn from God when; we come to Jesus for life’s greatest satisfaction.
*There are four things that Jesus declares to us about God’s eternal love in John 6:35-40.
First in John 6:37 it is God’s will to give us to Jesus.
He does so because he loves you, and Jesus bears God’s seal that this is the truth.
We become satisfied by knowing how truly loved we are by God.
Second in verses 37 & 38, it is God’s loving will that whoever comes to Jesus through the everlasting covenant will not be cast out.
You may reject Him because you are free to decide, but Jesus will reject none who come, any more than he rejected God’s will to die on the cross.
He drank the bitter cup of death to do God’s will.
And we are satisfied when we know the security of Jesus’ obedience to God.
Third in verse 39, it is God’s will that none of us are lost, but that we are raised up in the last day.
God’s loving will is for Jesus to transform us into his likeness.
Paul says in the resurrection if we bear Adam’s image we will bear the image of the man of heaven.
And he will lose none of you to any other predetermined end.
We learn satisfaction through out our life of transformation as we become more like God through Jesus.
And lastly, in verse 40, it is God’s loving will that we have eternal life through our faith in Jesus.
Eternal life is the everlasting covenant living in our hearts and minds.
