Jesus said, ‘My food is to do the will of the One who sent me.’
Lord is asking us to repent and believe in the Gospel. Many of us put the ashes on Ash Wednesday or on Monday in Eastern Catholic Churches on our forehead to remind us we are sinners. Genesis 3:19 (NJB): ‘For dust you are and to dust you shall return.’ Lord is asking us to repent and come back to Him, that is what He wants from us.
John 4:33–34 (NJB): So the disciples said to one another, ‘Has someone brought him food?’ 34 But Jesus said: My food is to do the will of the one who sent me, and to complete his work.
Jesus was with the Samaritan woman and Jesus was jealous of her soul and to lead her to salvation. But the desciples were worried about the material food which they were gone to bring from the town. Jesus was having something precious in his mind to save a sinner. He says that is what his food, which is the plan of Heavenly Father has entrusted to Jesus His only Son. That is why Jesus saying, my food is to do the will of the Father in Heaven!
Lord, we are unworthy servants. Make us the servants of your heavenly garden.
