THE WAY. THE TRUTH. THE LIFE.

I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE

John 6:35

THE BACKSTORY: John 4:31-34          John 6:1-24

AN AWKWARD TRUTH: John 6:25-33         Matthew 6:31-33

• The question we usually have is “What’s in it for me?”

 

• They wanted instant gratification.

 

• Jesus knew what they needed.

 

• Just as our body without food is dead, our spirit without Jesus is dead.

AN AWFUL RESPONSE: John 6:60-71

• Bread can’t just be read about, talked about, or thought about; it must be consumed.

• Jesus’ teaching wasn’t hard to understand, it was hard to accept.
