John 4:34 | DiscipleDeck

Bible Commentary

John 4:34

This is the core of Jesus' life and mission: not personal comfort, not fame — but completing the Father's work. This should be the model for every disciple's life.

Memory phrase: Doing God's will was Jesus' deepest food.

Talk about it: Jesus said doing God's will was like food to Him. What does that mean for how we should think about serving God?

Prayer: Father, make Your will my greatest hunger — the thing that truly sustains me.
