Taking it Home

• Think about your reason for following Jesus this week? Is it because he’s your spiritual slot machine? Is it because you’re trying to look good to others? Is it because you’re a faker—a sheep in wolves clothing? Or is it because you genuinely love the Lord because He first loved you?
• Meditate on John 6:35 and Jesus being the Bread of Life.
