Looking for life in dead places?
It is one of the most profound verses in the Scripture that should haunt every person born, why are you looking for life in dead places!
Dreams shattered!
Hope was lost!
The future seamed dark and futile!
It sounds like a page out of the current situation of mankind
There is an endless pursuit to find “life” in a land filled with death
A place filled with life now brought forth death
Read Genesis and you see nothing but verses teaming with life!
Tress, flowers, fish, animals, flowers all created for the enjoyment of man
But Adam exchanged that for the same old lie of Satan that what you have isn’t enough
This endless pursuit is maddening, like chasing the preverbal carrot on a stick
That’s the ploy of the enemy, make you think that true fulfillment can be achieved by things that actually produce emptiness!
Now the Bible makes an interesting statement about His mission:
It is the most truthful statement about the dead condition of mankind.
Those of us in Christ have been give new life, real life but those who have not see it as a death sentence to their deceptive lifestyle!
The word Katalambano here takes the meaning overtaking
The prep Kata means to cease or overtake
The root word means from top to bottom; the whole picture in a sense
It is in the Aorist active indicative meaning that the darkness is continually trying to over power the light but it cannot!
WE WIN!
As we stated before manis always trying to reform God in his image and that is why the world system will never succeed
Even we now having been born again can only comprehended a bit about what the resurrection of Christ attained for us.
The Apostle Paul put it this way
We were all living in the land of the dead before we became alive through the born again experience!
So why does man continually look to the dead places to find life?
Because man was created eternal and to be eternally fulfilled, there is something eternal inside of us that is driving man to be fulfilled!
Satan appeals to the flesh as a means of quieting the voice but keeps getting louder!
The temporal can never meet the needs of the eternal!
Jesus gave us a key to the soloution when he said:
Jesus after feeding the multitudes made the following statement:
He talks about “food which endures to everlasting life”
He wasn’t speaking about an eternal plate of shwarma that would be perpetually filed but of something more!
In verse 30 they challenge Him
There was something more important than the manna which sustained them in the desert
Notice that the manna being temporal could not be kept but the work of Christ is eternal and feed the should feed the soul eternally
Now they were talking about physical food but Jesus is talking about Spiritual food!
He is to the spirit thats which manna was to the body, it nourishes and supports Spiritual life
Those in the desert it ate and died but those who eat of it now shall live!
Leviticus 21:21-22 we read that the sacrifices were called the “bread of God”
Just as the priest was instructed to feast upon the sacrifice, we are now told to feast upon His sacrifice for He now is the bread of life!
And i speaking of the sacrifice
You see manna only supported life but Christ now sustains and perpetuates it
In the wilderness Jesus told Satan
And so on that wonderful morning, the angels asked them why are you looking for the living among the dead…He is not here!
Let me tell you today that you can continue to look for life in all the dead places but you will only find it in the land of the living!
In Christ
