Labor of Love

“Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life”

We all have to perform some kind of labor in our lives. We work for a living, on projects, in and around our homes.  This we find to be necessary…and meaningful.  However, we never labor in vain when we do a work for the Lord in our lives! 

Jesus was teaching by the Sea of Galilee, concerning the most important labor there is for us to do.   He said, ”Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for Him hath God the Father sealed.” 

Sin separates us, from God.  Jesus was sent to serve God the Father…by saving those who confess him as their Lord and Savior, thereby reconciling us back to God.  We serve the Lord when we when we take time to tell others of God’s wonderful plan of Salvation for their lives.  The eternal benefits of this type of labor are salvation and everlasting life with God…for both ourselves and others!
