Commentary on John 6:27
'Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.' Jesus redirects priorities—don't work for perishable food but for eternal sustenance. Physical bread satisfies temporarily; spiritual bread satisfies eternally. The Son of Man gives this food; the Father has authenticated (sealed) Him. Pursuing eternal life isn't passive but active—labor is involved, though the food is gift.
