John 6:28 | DiscipleDeck

Bible Commentary

John 6:28

They thought eternal life was another task to accomplish — another work to perform. Jesus is about to give the most surprising answer: it is not a work, it is a gift.

Memory phrase: What must we do?

Talk about it: Have you ever thought you had to do something special to make God love you?

Prayer: Lord, thank You that Your gift of life is not earned. Help me receive it with grateful hands.
