“My food is to do the will
of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.” — John 4:34
In this world, there are
people who eat food in order to live, and there are also those who seem to live
mainly for the pleasure of eating. Likewise, there are people who earnestly
seek God because they desire to know Him, and there are others who pray only
with worldly desires, continually asking God to give them something.
Our Lord Jesus Christ did
not seek His own will but lived to know and fulfil the will of the Father
concerning Him. He clearly understood that it was the Father’s will for Him to
offer His life as a sacrifice for the redemption of the world. Therefore, He
declared that doing the will of the One who sent Him and completing His work
was His true food.
Yes, dear ones, God has a
specific will concerning each one of us. First, it is essential for us to know
God’s will for our lives. When we come to understand that will, we will not
become excessively joyful or deeply sorrowful about the events that happen in
our lives.
When Paul the Apostle
encountered Christ and received His revelation, we read that he asked:
“Trembling and astonished,
he said, ‘Lord, what do You want me to do?’ And the Lord said to him, ‘Get up
and enter the city, and it will be told you what you must do.’” — Acts 9:6
That is why he later exhorts
us:
“And do not be conformed to
this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may
prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.”
— Romans 12:2
In other words, instead of
following the ways of the world and behaving according to its patterns, our
minds must be renewed and we must be transformed to become people who please
God. When this happens, we will begin to understand what God’s will truly is.
Simply put, we must first experience the new birth.
Today, most people are
determined to fulfil their own will and work hard to achieve it. Many desire to
become doctors, engineers, bank officers, or civil servants such as IAS or IPS
officers. Others aim to attain high political positions or become great
industrialists. Some among them do succeed in reaching their goals.
However, dear friends, most
people neither desire to know God’s will for their lives nor make an effort to fulfil
it. But Jesus Christ, who said, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me
and to accomplish His work,” fulfilled that will and was exalted.
If we seek Him not merely to
satisfy worldly desires but with sincere love for Him, we will discover His
will for our lives. And as Jesus said, accomplishing that will becomes our true
nourishment.
Moreover, when we live
according to the will of the Father, we become brothers and sisters of Christ.
As Jesus Christ said:
“For whoever does the will
of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother.” —
Matthew 12:50
Therefore, let us strive to
know and live according to the will of God.
