People who permit themselves to be led and ruled by the Spirit of God, their Creator, must continuously and most conscientiously seek to ensure that they are indeed in harmony with the Spirit of our dear Heavenly Father. This calls for constant heart searching, tolerance and a loving attitude to our fellow man. God alone knows how we and His Creation appear to Him.

Because of immeasurable grace we belong to those who have been selected to belong to the Church of Jesus Christ, who through their recognition and seeking for God, come into closer connection with Him. God loves us and is always concerned for our wellbeing, through the words and deeds of Christ this is made clear. God speaks to us through His Holy Spirit and he who hears not only the words, but receives love, understanding and readiness to help. God strives for us here and in all eternity. Jesus said “I live, ye shall live also”. John 14:19.

One of His most important objectives is to free us from wrong ideas about life, its content and quality etc. and to lead us to see things more clearly and truly.  The Son of God does not want our life to be miserable. His work of love, when He turned the water to wine at the wedding, showed that He understands our needs and is no spoilsport. He understands our world, we must strive to understand His world, the Kingdom of Heaven.

When we speak of bread we think of physical nourishment which will stave off hunger for a few hours. Jesus however, speaks of Himself as the bread of life, i.e. the way to spiritual fulfilment. He is the bread, not physical, but spiritual whereby our souls may find sustenance. We can only claim to be Christians and followers of Christ if we are prepared to revise the manner of our lives for His sake and are ready to give ourselves wholly and completely to the Lord. “He that cometh to me shall never hunger.” What must we forsake to go to Him?

What does the bread consist of which constitutes the essence of all things, which made our lives possible until now? What is the chief ingredient of our lives which brings us to joy and peace? With what do we satisfy the hunger of our souls?

Whatever we do, cannot change the transitory nature of our lives. We are not concerned by the mortal nature of our physical lives when we perceive the constant strengthening of the spirit.

Most important is that Christ lives within us and that He is able to express Himself through us with His personality, with His love and His divine wisdom. This should not be a mere empty scholastic theory which we hold, but everybody should be able to see in us and the manner of our lives and the expression of the life of Jesus Christ. Before we take any action we should ask ourselves the question “Would Jesus act like this?” If the answer is Yes, go ahead, if the answer is No, don’t do it.
