John 6:29

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 6:29. Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

The grandest work that any man can do is to believe on the Saviour whom God has sent. There are some who despise faith, but Christ was not of that number. He honoured it exceedingly when he said, in effect "This is the Godlike work, the work which is nearest to God’s heart, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.’" Dear friend, art thou struggling after that which is high and noble? Wouldst thou do the best day’s work that was ever done in any mortal life? Thou run not to this or that invention of thine own, but be content to believe on him whom God hath sent. This is the first, the highest, the noblest work, the work which gives to God the greatest pleasure.
