John 6:27 (NET) Do not work for the food that

disappears, but for the food that remains to

eternal life – the food which the Son of Man will
give to you. For God the Father has put his seal of
approval on him.
(BBE) “Let your work not be for the food which
comes to an end, but for the food which goes on
for eternal life,…”
(ISV) “Do not work for food that perishes but for
food that lasts for eternal life,…”

 Two Kinds of Foods
1. Physical food - Its desires, passions and appetites is
for the flesh/body only. It is merely human, temporal
and worldly.
2. Spiritual Food -
Its desires,
passions and
appetites is for
the soul. It is
merely spiritual,
eternal and
heavenly.
 The BIBLE speaks about working for
physical food
Genesis 3:19 (KJV) In the sweat of thy
face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return
unto the ground; for out of it wast thou
taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust
shalt thou return.
Jesus taught about spiritual food
Matthew 4:4 (NET) But he answered, “It is
written, ‘Man does not live by bread alone, but
by every word that comes from the mouth of
God.”
John 6:63 (KJV) It is the spirit that quickeneth;
the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I
speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
