Jesus looked at the multitude that follows him and he was sad because he knew they only come to him for the food that would perish.


How often we are like those people, we go to Jesus for the things that our bodies need. Jesus has pity on us and he grants what we have not even asked for. Then we turn away from him to do our own things until the next time we have want again.



Is going to church every Sunday and paying him our lips service enough to call him 'my lord'? During the service, our minds are thinking of the things we had done or what we want to do for the rest of the day and the days ahead. We are drifting in and out of the sermon which is only good enough to itch our ears because we know that as soon as the the service is over we will go to do whatever we want.



God looked down from heaven and he knows what is in each one of our hearts.

Jesus will say to us at his return, 'Why call me lord, lord and do not the things I ask you. I do not know you, depart from me'. Luke 6:46

So if we do not have the 'passion for Christ' in our hearts as much as we want to, what should we do? Ask God to reveal himself to us so that we can experience Him, so that we can know him more intimately and love Him.
