Why do you love JESUS?

John 6:26

Jesus replied, "I tell you the truth, you want to be with me because I fed you, not because you understood the miraculous signs.

In John 6:26-30, Jesus had just fed the 5,000 the day before and now the same people followed HIM across the lake. Sounds good right? Well, not really. They came demanding that HE do more miracles and fill their bellies. They didn't understand the purpose of the wonders that Jesus did for them. HE fed them to show God’s love for them but they still did not believe. They even wanted some of the power HE had so that they could do the same things but Jesus said, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.” (John 6:29)

They did not want to believe in Jesus, they did not love HIM, they did not come to worship HIM. The attitude of their hearts were completely self-serving! We need to make sure that we are not like the people who followed Jesus that day. God loves us and is looking for love from us! Love does not look for ways to please itself, real love is giving to someone else, serving someone else, and it is putting ourselves last. That is what Jesus did on the cross and when HE died HE showed us what love really is!!!!

Loving God - Loving People

Hey Kids! What is the most important thing to God? Jesus was asked this question in Matthew 22… The religious leaders were trying their very best to trick JESUS and make Him look bad but it didn't work… (it never worked!!)… So, they asked Jesus what is the most important thing to God (greatest commandment)? Jesus did not hesitate to answer the question, here is what HE said in verses 37-39…

“You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: Love your neighbor as yourself.”

The most important thing to God is that we love HIM and that we love people. But remember that when we love someone, it has to be shown in our actions. We need to pray, read our Bibles, and worship God because we love Him. We also need to do nice things for others and be kind because we love people. If its important to God, then it should be important to us!
