John 6:28
"Then said they unto him, What shall we do,
that we might work the works of God."
That is, such things as God will approve unto His Children. This was and is the earnest inquiry of men who were and are presently seeking to be saved. They had crossed the Sea of Tiberias to seek him; they thought him to be the Messiah, and they sincerely desired to be taught the way of life.
Yet it is observable that they expected to find that way as other sinners commonly do, by their works. The idea of doing something to merit salvation is one of the last things the sinner ever surrenders. That is their "pride and selfishness"
My Friends, for us to do the works of God, we must do what Jesus said; " Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." Who God sent is our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. All the labor described in John 6:27 is to maintain a pure heart and exercise an appropriating faith.
God sealed Christ by His declaration at the water of baptism and the miracles which were wrought through the Father’s power, "Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works," (John 14:10).
Amen!
