“I AM the Bread of Life”
John 6:22-40
!
Introduction to Study
Background on John’s Gospel & Context of Story
VV. 22-25
Ø “/How did you get here/?”
Why did they care?
A: They wanted another free lunch!
Ø Jesus saw through all of this!
VV.
26-28
Ø *They missed the point!*
As a Jew to receive the reward of heaven you had to keep ALL of the Law.
You had to work for it!
VV.
29-30, 31
Ø Jesus says what you must *DO* is *BELIEVE*!
Ø Obviously, they weren’t happy with his response /because they went from asking what they should do, to asking what He was gonna do for them/!!!
Ø That is a very dangerous attitude to adopt!
Ø They are insinuating that Moses is greater than Jesus.
VV.
32-34
Ø The English Translation loses some of the meaning.
“has given”—Perfect, “gives”—Present
Ø Perfect tense shows a past event that has implications in the future.
When Jesus speaks he uses a present tense, implying that what is given is here and now!
V.
35
Ø */Egw/**/ eimi/* o9 a2rtov tnv zwhv
Ø 2 Reasons for this construction
1. Emphasis (Big, Bigger, Biggest)
2. Identifying himself w~/ the Great “I AM”
*Why Bread*?
Ø */Necessary for Life/*
Without /physical bread/ people died /physically/.
Without /spiritual bread/ people died /spiritually/.
Ø */Suitable to Everyone/*
It is Inexpensive and easily available
Jesus is not the caver of life!
Ø */Bread Produces Growth/*
V.
40-41—Application & the Peoples Response
Ø Jesus is our Provider and Sustainer
Ø What are you feeding on?
Ø The Peoples response…HOW SAD!
