John 6:41-51

So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” (ESV)

Have you ever wished that you could see a visible presence of God—that he would reveal himself to you in some miraculous way? Moses saw the burning bush, and the Lord spoke to him audibly. Even then, Moses argued with God! God will reveal himself to us in his own way. Each of us is different, and each will receive a vision or a word in a different way. God has sent his son, Jesus and his Holy Spirit to lead us and be with us. He has given us the Bible to bless us and instruct us. If we truly seek God, we can rest assured we will find him.
