Belief is commitment

Since it is tax time, it is time to "tax" our brains with some deep theology. In John ch6v22-70, Jesus is teaching on his purpose. He is not the physical messiah king that Israel was expecting. God had deeper, better and longer lasting plans. But we seek temporal things. We want nourishment for today, which we need. But we neglect eternity. Perhaps it is too big to understand. Christianity can be summed up in v29. Jesus tells the crowd is that the only work necessary is to believe in Him. That is where it goes deeper. Belief is not just knowledge. It must control you. Your activities should hinge on this belief. Like a chair, when you believe it will hold your weight, you sit down. You are commited then. That is why us big guys don't like antiques! Be committed!
