Evening: Psalm 33; John 6:60-71
Physical existence is nothing without spirit; we know this. The human longing for this intangible ‘something more’ is a theme of literature. Think of the songs that tell of the illusion of finding satisfaction in things. The promised satisfaction is short-lived. All too soon, we are searching again for the ‘missing ingredient’ that will complete us and make us whole. Jesus spells out the truth: “It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh (i.e. stuff) is useless.” You cannot buy or build the spirit, as you do things. The spirit is a gift you invite in and gratefully welcome.
