Evening: Psalms 134, 135; John 6:16-27
I am excited and encouraged when young people say that they don’t just want a job. Instead, many young people want satisfying work, work that promotes a healthy planet, work that envisions a just society, work that serves the world and the other people and creatures in it. To work for money (‘bread’) without clear values about how we will use it is pointless, potentially destructive and life-denying. Jesus teaches, ‘Labour for the food that endures’, labour for what really nourishes people, labour for what feeds their souls. Self-giving, compassionate love feeds the soul; it is life-giving. Work for that.
