Food that endures to eternal life

John 6:27-40, Jesus highlights the living bread (bread of God) and the living water; he revealed that he is the one who gives these and he is from heaven. He came down to earth to do his Father’s will.

Work for food that endures not that spoils.

Vs 40, NIV. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:27-40
[27]Do not work for food that goes bad; instead, work for the food that lasts for eternal life. This is the food which the Son of Man will give you, because God, the Father, has put his mark of approval on him.”
[28]So they asked him, “What can we do in order to do what God wants us to do?”
[29]Jesus answered, “What God wants you to do is to believe in the one he sent.”
[30]They replied, “What miracle will you perform so that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?
[31]Our ancestors ate manna in the desert, just as the scripture says, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’ ”
[32]“I am telling you the truth,” Jesus said. “What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the real bread from heaven.
[33]For the bread that God gives is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
[34]“Sir,” they asked him, “give us this bread always.”
[35]“I am the bread of life,” Jesus told them. “Those who come to me will never be hungry; those who believe in me will never be thirsty.
[36]Now, I told you that you have seen me but will not believe.
[37]Everyone whom my Father gives me will come to me. I will never turn away anyone who comes to me,
[38]because I have come down from heaven to do not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
[39]And it is the will of him who sent me that I should not lose any of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them all to life on the last day.
[40]For what my Father wants is that all who see the Son and believe in him should have eternal life. And I will raise them to life on the last day.”
