John 6-27-08 Work For Eternal Food That Endures
John 6:27 (NAS)
Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man shall give to you, for on Him the Father, even God, has set His seal."
John 6:27 (NLT)
But you shouldn’t be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that I, the Son of Man, can give you. For God the Father has sent me for that very purpose.
John 6:27 (Philips)
You should not work for the food which does not last but for the food which lasts on into eternal life. This is the food the Son of Man will give you, and he is the one who bears the stamp of God the Father.

From the time of the fall of Adam and Eve, mankind has had to toil and work to provide for their daily needs. When Jesus came, He modified this concept. He tells you that your occupation and work should not be your primary concern. Although you do need food to eat every day, all of your efforts and commitments should not be in obtaining meat, which only perishes. Though it sustains your life temporarily, it cannot give you anything lasting.
However, there is an occupation that Yeshua does endorse. He tells you to labor for food that will endure and remain. This nourishment will help you to enter into everlasting life, the life that God Himself possesses.
How do you obtain this meat? Jesus, God's Son, who became the Son of man, is the only One who can give it to you and what He offers you is what He first received from His Father. Jesus received Adonai's words and He passed those words on to you. It is through the Messiah's words that you receive everlasting life. And you can trust His words, for the Father has put His stamp of approval on the Son. He has been sealed with God's very own signet ring. He is genuinely God and He is genuinely man. He is your mediator before the throne of God and He is God's representative and spokesman to you
