Evening: Psalm 94; John 6:16-27
Refrigeration allows us to keep perishable food for months. But it will eventually perish. When Jesus says, “Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures”, he is not on about market gardening! He is talking about finding work that satisfies a deeper hunger, by bringing purposeful love to our fleeting lives. The work Jesus calls us into has meaning beyond ourselves; it nourishes our own souls, yes, but also the souls of others and the earth itself. Maybe one person’s real work is market gardening. What is my real work? That is the question.
