Eat, Sleep, and Drink Jesus

What kind of person eats only once a week? What do you think that person would look like?

I asked the high school kids yesterday what such a person's performance would be on the football field.
"Dude will get blasted!!... probably by me!!" Griffin said.

So why is it that some think they can survive on once-a-week spiritual meals? We need to eat everyday! But what do we eat?

John 6:32-35
Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."

"Sir," they said, "from now on give us this bread."

Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty."

Are you getting fed?? Are you reading a word, a book, a sermon that feeds you spiritually? Are you praying? Are you reading the Bible? Talking to other believers about your faith? Asking questions? Meditating? Spending time at Jesus' feet?
Yeah you're saved by grace alone. You don't do these things out of obligation, coercion, or to earn anything, but because you WANT to, because you NEED to! Right?

If you're not eating, you're gonna get blasted on the spiritual battlefield! No wonder you're getting your tail whipped! No wonder you're leading a defeated, joyless Christian walk. You're suffering from spiritual malnutrition. The prescription? The Bread of Life, Jesus Christ!
We gotta grow!!
