Opposed by the Jews (finish it up)
Opposed (adj) - eager to prevent or put an end to; disapproving of or disagreeing with.
(of two or more things) contrasting or conflicting with each other.
Have you ever stood or been in opposition to someone, or something?
How did you handle it?
How has Jesus handled opposition so far?
He removed himself to avoid conflict (Jn4:1-3)
Though He had a divine appointment
He explained his offer of living water and who He was (Jn4:7-29)
Unlikely conversation, etc. led to many believing
He explained to the Jews about His Father working, and His equality with the Father (Jn5:17-47)
How are we going to feed these 5000?
(Jn6:2-13)
Jesus asked Philip knowing what he was going to do already.
You want to be fed again, don’t labor for perishable (Jn6:26-29)
They came for food and a king, and got much more, an eternal teaching about what really matters
Jews demand sign, Jesus gives reason to believe (Jn6:30-51)
Jesus says he is the bread of life
Jews argue among themselves, Jesus teaches and many depart (Jn6:52-71)
This is where we were last week and did not finish, so we need to finish this up before going forward.
Not everything is literal, this is a great example of misunderstanding a spiritual truth because they were looking for literal application (other examples Jn2:19-21; 3:4; 4:11)
metaphor.
Living bread is a metaphor.
Bread of God is a metaphor.
It doesn’t surprise that Jesus extends the bread metaphor to His action, soon-to-come sacrifice on the cross.”
He said that the eating, drinking were mandatory, absolutely essential, so that would mean anyone who did not take communion would be out of the kingdom.
Join me and look at (v.56) again.
There are some really good quotes I want to bring in here.
Clarke “He lives in them, and they in Him; for they are made partakers of the Divine nature as stated in 2Pt1:4.”
Spurgeon says: “In eating and drinking, a man is not a producer, but a consumer; he is not a doer or a giver forth; he simply takes in. . .
Eating is an act of reception in every case.
So it is with faith; you have not to do, to be, or to feel, but only to receive.”
Nothing will satisfy our hunger or bring us life except actually eating the bread.
Eat and live forever!
Deserting words
There are things that you hear that you just want to turn and away from, and these are some that many did.
jn6:66-67
What general observations do you make in this passage?
What did many of the disciples think of Jesus statement (v.60)?
It is difficult statement, who can listen to it.
Focus on (v.61) for a moment, in context with (v.62), what kind of stumble do you think Jesus is speaking of?
Stumble of unbelief because the saying is hard, difficult
Who gives life and what profits nothing (v.63)?
The Spirit gives life, the flesh profits nothing.
His words are Spirit and life.
What has to be granted from the Father (v.65) look at (v.64) too, so to keep in context?
Belief must be granted (v.64) and that comes from the Father to believe in the Son to have eternal life.
What was the results of these hard words (v.66)?
Many of His disciples withdrew from Him.
What does Peter’s answer convey (v.68-69)?
Jesus words had eternal life
That they all believed
And they knew He was the Holy One of God
The words, the teaching are not hard to understand but are hard to accept.
Many disciples (so called believers) left him.
They already were stumbling in faith because Jesus claim, came down from heaven, claim equality with God.
Stumbled because of eating his flesh, drinking his blood.
Now He is saying ascending back into heaven.
Hard things to accept, unless you believe His words have eternal life, and that He truly is the Holy One of God.
Morris said this: “The events in this chapter had made it all too clear that following Him meant something different from anything they had anticipated.
Nothing is said to give us a clear idea of their views, but the probability is that they were interested in a messianic kingdom in line with the general expectation.”
I love what Wiersbe said: How, then, do we ‘eat his flesh and drink His blood?’
Through the Word.
The words are spirit and life (v.63) and the word became flesh (1:14) and in Him those who believe have everlasting life (5:24).”
It is the same for us, the word brings belief and belief brings eternal life.
Peter’s confession (v.69) did make one wrong assumption, that he was speaking for all, and that all believed.
And Jesus addresses that that one of them is a devil.
May we learn from Peter’s confession
Jesus is Lord
Jesus is the way, despite the difficulties
Recognize the value of spiritual things over temporal or material things.
Recognize Jesus is more than just Lord, but Messiah, the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
Determining words
Hard words, difficult words, not hard to understand, but hard to accept.
And Jesus does not hold back.
Any general observation?
Who is Jesus speaking to (v.70)?
Speaking to the disciples the twelve
Who is Jesus speaking about (v.71)?
Judas the one who would betray Him.
It is important that we understand the context, who is Jesus speaking to.
For it not we might think this can be about us.
And it is not.
Jesus specifically says He chose them, the twelve.
We, the people today are not in view.
F.F. Bruce said: “One of them was a diabolos —the Greek word means a ‘slanderer’ or ‘calumniator’ a ‘false accuser’, but it is probably used her as the counterpart to the Hebrew satan, ‘adversary.’”
I think a quick couple of things before we close out tonight.
Within the 12 was a fake, a fraud, a betrayer, a slander, a false accuser.
We should not think that they are not out there today, in fact John says this.
and
Don’t think that just because someone hangs around the church, they are the church.
For a disciple will be known by their fruit.
They come in among the church (body of believers)
And cannot end on a negative note, So how about something positive
This has been about words tonight right?
It is the Word, the proclaiming, the sharing, the preaching of the word of God that sifts the hearts of the listeners.
God draws sinners to Himself through the Word to the Savior through the power of the truth, the power of the Word.
Those who receive the word willingly receive the Savior eternally and are born again of water and Spirit.
They will be fed the eternal water and bread of heaven that will satisfy.
