JESUS said:
Labor not for the meat which perisheth,
but for that meat which endureth unto Ever-Lasting Life, which the SON+ of Man shall give unto you: for HIM+ hath GOD the FATHER sealed.
Worthy is the LAMB+... worthy is the LAMB+... worthy is the LAMB+ that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing! Blessing and honor and glory and power be unto HIM that sitteth on the throne and unto The LAMB+ for ever and ever. Amen.
JESUS said:
Labor not for the meat which perisheth,

John 6:22 - 27
And the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
When JESUS then lifted up His+ eyes, and saw a great company come unto HIM+, HE+ saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
And this HE+ said to prove him: for HE+ Himself+ knew what HE+ would do.
+ + +
The “bread” which would have been available at this time WAS VERY LIKELY the un-leavened, un-raised bread loaves* BECAUSE it was the Passover season. Hebrew households were strict about removing the leaven from their houses and their diets during the Passover season.
*Loaves: Keep in mind these very likely would have been flat, round loaves, sort of like discs or “Frisbees”. These would not have been leavened, humped-up loaves of bread as are yeast breads.
Let us read about the importance of unleavened bread, in the eyes of GOD.
The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His and I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.
John 6:1-3
After these things JESUS went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. And a great multitude followed HIM+, because they saw His+ miracles which HE+ did on them that were diseased. And JESUS went up into a mountain, and there HE+ sat with His+ disciples.
WHO TAUGHT JESUS ?
John 8:28
Then said JESUS unto them,
when ye have lifted up the SON+ of Man,
then ye shall know that I+ am he
and that I+ do nothing of Myself+;
but as My+ FATHER hath taught ME+,
I+ speak these things.
Then said JESUS unto them,
when ye have lifted up the SON+ of Man,
then shall ye know that I+ AM he,
and that I+ do nothing of Myself+;
but as My+ FATHER hath taught ME+,
I+ speak these things.
SERPENT ON A POLE in Mt. Nebo
Mount Nebo is an elevated ridge of the Abarim in Jordan, approximately 710 metres (2,330 ft) above sea level. It is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as the place where Moses was granted a view of the Promised Land. The view from the summit provides a panorama of the land and, to the north, a more limited one of the valley of the River Jordan. The West Bank city of Jericho is usually visible from the summit, as is Jerusalem on a very clear day.~ Courtesy of Wikipedia

not to do Mine+ own Will,
but the Will of HIM that sent ME+.
ASHES TO ASHES,
DUST to DUST,
in a sure and certain HOPE
of the Resurrection unto Eternal LIFE,
THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
What is WRONG
with those churches who refuse to do ASH WEDNESDAY Services . . . simply because civil authorities SUGGEST that Christians NOT do an ASH WEDNESDAY service because of the COVID risk ?
Does the BIBLE DIRECTLY tell us WHO owns our body and spirit ?
YES, but ONLY
IF our BIBLE follows the Byzantine Greek mss.
UNFORTUNATELY, we have more than 61 modern English Bibles which DO NOT TELL US directly “who” owns our Body and Spirit.
Let us hear the WORD of GOD IN 1 Corinthians 6: 19 - 20.
What ? know ye not . . .
that your body is the temple of the HOLY SPIRIT Which is in you, Which ye have of GOD, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price:
therefore glorify GOD in your body,
and in your spirit, Which are GOD’S.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
+ + +
In 1 Corinthians 6:20 , hundreds of Byzantine manuscripts speak with one voice, telling us WHO owns both our body and our spirit.
. . . and in your spirit, Which are GOD’S.
But of the 61 English version Bibles listed on Bible Gateway’s website
only 12 included the last seven words.
The SEASON of the anti-Christ
No-one following JESUS CHRIST is confused about this current season: THE SEASON OF THE ANTI-CHRIST.
Even the worldlings know something terribly evil is afoot. FEAR is everywhere, from academics to business to health facilities.
Align yourself with My+ PURPOSES.
Why was HE+ born ?
The LORD JESUS CHRIST was born to deliver us and bring many sons to Glory !
ZACHARIAS and ELISABETH
Three persons received the HOLY SPIRIT just before The LORD came:
They NEEDED the HOLY SPIRIT, for times were evil.
And she brought forth her FIRSTBORN SON+,
and wrapped HIM+ in swaddling clothes, and laid HIM+ in a manger;
because there was no room for them in the inn.
