Jesus is the Bread

Back ground:

Jesus fed the 5000

v. 14-15: the crowd recognized Jesus as the Messiah and sought to make him King

John 6: 22-42

v. 26) The crowd didn’t want Jesus for who he was, only what he could do for them.

- we often want Jesus so we don’t get burned but our changing for him is too much

Romans 6:1–2 “What therefore shall we say? Shall we continue in sin, in order that grace may increase? May it never be! How can we who died to sin still live in it?”

Romans 6:12–14 “Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, so that you obey its desires, and do not present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who are alive from the dead, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness. For sin will not be master over you, because you are not under law, but under grace.”

we want Jesus for the blessing but we don’t want the requirements

v. 30) crowd starts having second thoughts

keep trying to get what they want instead of what is being offered

tells them, He is offering himself but its not good enough

v. 41-42) Who Christ is, what He offered wasn’t good enough for them

HE didn’t look the way he wanted

HE didn’t come from the right family

Later HE enters on a donkey instead of a horse

He wasn’t what they expected but was exactly what they needed

John 6: 66-70

Who Christ actually is, divides people:

Everyone loves Christ for what he did

Few love him for who he is

Do you desire to love Christ as HE is?

Col. 3: 1-17

kill the sin within yourself and put on righteousness
