Tag: Bible verses about spiritual food

John 4:34 (NKJV) 34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.

Many of the things that Jesus said and taught really messed with the heads of those who heard Him.

Even His disciples had a hard time wrapping their human minds around His words. And this verse above is another example of that.

The disciples wrestled with their human thinking on many, many occasions. They wrestled with understanding things of a spiritual nature.

As they spent time with Jesus, they saw that He didn’t always take time to eat meals when they did. He would often go to a place of solitude and not even bother eating while He prayed and sought the Father.

They, being purely human, grew concerned about the welfare of Jesus since they knew that He didn’t eat as frequently as they did.

So, when they inquired of Jesus about this, He answered them. And His answer caused them to scratch their heads and wonder what He was talking about.

Jesus was not of this world. He was God in the flesh, God and man rolled into one. He ate natural food, but it wasn’t what “made Him tick”, so to speak.

He thrived on doing the will of the Father. That’s what satisfied Him and fulfilled Him.

That’s what fed Him.

As we grow and mature in our relationship with God, our appetite should also lean less toward natural food and more toward “food of which others do not know”.

John 4:32 (NKJV) 32 But He said to them, “I have food to eat of which you do not know.”

This will usually happen without us even noticing it at first, a little at a time.

And though natural food is good, food of which others do not know is much better!
