Who is Jesus Series: I AM the Bread of Life

I. The MOTIVATION to SEEK the Lord.

(NASB95)

26Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.

(NASB95)

1After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias).

2A large crowd followed Him, because they saw the signs which He was performing on those who were sick.

3Then Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat down with His disciples.

4Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

5Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?”

(NASB95)

9“There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?”

10Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

11Jesus then took the loaves, and having given thanks, He distributed to those who were seated; likewise also of the fish as much as they wanted.

(NASB95)

14Therefore when the people saw the sign which He had performed, they said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

(NASB95)

25When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi, when did You get here?”

(NASB95)

26Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.
