The True Aim of Life
Family Churchman
John 6:26-27
Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, You seek me, not because you saw the miracles…


I. IS NOT THE ATTAINMENT OF MATERIAL GOOD. Multitudes live as if it were. Nor is this mistake confined to the prosperous merchant; it is found among the poor. Strenuous efforts are put forth, but only for that which perisheth.

II. CONSISTS IN THE ATTAINMENT OF SPIRITUAL LIFE IN CHRIST. He is the true food of the soul. Eternal life is the result of receiving Him as the Living Bread.

III. TO TEACH THIS WAS THE AIM OF CHRIST'S MISSION. "Sealed." The impress of the Father's will is in His life and words. He was sealed —

1. By His miracles.

2. By His teaching.

3. By His resurrection.
