What meat is Jesus talking of?
He later said, My meat is to do the will of Him who sent Me.
Paul talked about the milk of the word and the meat:
For every one that useth milk
is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised
to discern both good and evil. Hebrews 5:13-14
The meat is the work, the meat is the word, the meat is doing God’s will.
How can we gain understanding of this?
Just like everything in the spiritual, seek Him with everything you have within your mind soul and strength
and He will meet you there and provide the understanding.
The kingdom of heaven has great riches
that are difficult to comprehend until you find them,
and you don’t find them until you search for them.
He said, Don’t wait, the harvest is white for harvest
Don’t waste any time.
Use every moment.
Don’t wait to get to it, there is work to be done now.
One thing I have found to be effective when reaching the lost,
I try to be sensitive to the Lord whenever I am around anyone,
Especially when I’m in a conversation.
I have an ulterior motive: Their soul coming to Christ
and into a meaningful relationship with Him.
Any way I can be used of God to help them get there,
I do what I can to listen to the Holy Spirit.
I am not perfect.
He is perfect.
He is the one who gave me the idea and I’m sharing it with you.
It is good for all of us to be listening to His Holy Spirit
and to obey and speak as He leads.
That’s what Jesus did.
He is a good example to follow.
Scriptural References:
And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled
that he talked with the woman: yet no man said,
What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city,
and saith to the men,
Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did:
is not this the Christ?
Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.
In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat.
But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
Therefore said the disciples one to another,
Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
Jesus saith unto them,
My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest?
behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields;
for they are white already to harvest.
And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
And herein is that saying true, One soweth,
and another reapeth.
I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour:
other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
John 4:27-38
