It's so easy to get side-tracked. Jesus confronts the people who sought him by telling them that they were looking for him because they "ate the loves and were filled." (Jn 6: 26). He then tells them to work for "the food that endures for eternal life." (Jn 6: 27). Later on in Chapter six, he speaks of the Bread of Life, the Eucharist, which, indeed is the food for eternal life.
This conversation reminds us to place Jesus as our main objective and motive for our actions, not those which make us feel "warm and fuzzy", but fail the test of time and endurance. Even in the service we might undertake must be for Jesus and with Jesus, not for the sake of "looking good" in the eyes of others and winning their commendation. No humbly, quietly, FOR JESUS. This is the food that endures to eternal life. Dear Jesus, help me to believe in you, live in you and serve you in serving others and thus partake of the food that endures.
