Scripture Meditation No. 1729
AATHAVAN — Saturday, November 1, 2025
“Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.” (John 6:27, NASB)
In this world, we labour to meet our daily needs and to secure a good future for our children. God indeed desires that we live diligently and responsibly. He does not approve of laziness. As the Apostle Paul said, “If anyone is not willing to work, then he is not to eat, either.” (2 Thessalonians 3:10, NASB)
However, God does not want us to toil only for worldly necessities. Beyond this earthly life lies eternal life — a life that never ends. Just as we store up for our earthly needs, we must also store up treasures for eternal life while we live in this world. This is what Jesus Christ emphasizes in today’s meditation verse:
“Work for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.” (John 6:27, NASB)
The food that endures to eternal life is none other than our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. His words are the true and living food. When we gather His words into our hearts and live by them, we labour for the food that endures to eternal life. Hence, Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone follows My word, he will never see death.” (John 8:51, NASB)
To receive this food of eternal life, we must believe in Him. Yes, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.” (John 6:29, NASB)
The Word — Jesus Christ — remains forever, and so do His words. As the Apostle Peter reminds us,
“But the word of the Lord endures forever.” And this is the word which was preached to you as good news. (1 Peter 1:25, NASB)
Therefore, beloved, we must not strive only for the things of this perishing world, but also for the food that leads to everlasting life. It is through this imperishable Word of God that we are born again. That spiritual rebirth makes us worthy of eternal life. As Peter again teaches,
“For you have been born again not of seed which is perishable, but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.” (1 Peter 1:23, NASB)
Finally, today’s verse concludes, “For on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.” (John 6:27, NASB)
Yes, beloved, this is the very purpose for which God the Father sent Jesus Christ into the world. When we believe in the Word — Jesus Christ — we are submitting to the will of the Father and are made worthy of eternal life.
