John 6:33-42
“Absolute Salvation through the Absolute God.”
The God Man Jesus will bring salvation.
Intro - Mothers Day
When I asked my wife Susan, What would you like for Mother’s Day.
Her first response was, I just want to be with my family.
-Why?
Being with the ones she loves the most makes her happy.
-It satisfies the maternal instinct.
-In fact, out side of Easter and Christmas, Mothers Day is consistently one of the Sunday’s that church attendance in the U.S. is consistently up.
We see this year after year.
-My hope is that it is because mom’s want their families to experience the great salvation and satisfaction in Jesus.
Transition - And this is what Jesus wanted for the people listening to Him in His Bread of Life teaching.
To see that only God...
Section 1 - God absolutely satisfies.
Read John 6:33-35
Jesus say “I Am” The Bread Of Life.”
When you come to me in salvation from your sin.
Your soul is satisfied.
When you spiritually take me in through My Word.
I continue to satisfy.
The people were still looking outward.
Looking to physical bread.
vs. 34, Look in verse 34, “Sir, give us this bread always.”
The people are missing the point.
They want Jesus to make them miracle food, like He did the day before in the feeding of the 5000
They still are not getting that Jesus Himself is the Bread and that He will spiritually satisfy their soul now and eternally, in the world to come.
Jesus wants them to take Him into the deepest part of themselves, their soul, by faith.
He wants them to spiritually feast on Him.
Then Jesus drops a Bomb.
He says something, & the whole conversation begins to get spicy.
He states that he is God as clear as it can be.
Jesus says, in verese 35, “I AM”
verse 35, “I Am the bread of life...”
The phrase that we translate as “I Am” is called the Tetragrammaton -
That’s just a fancy word for - The holiest names for God.
We pronounce it Yahweh.
This name is so special that the Jewish people in the Old Testament were not allowed to even say the name.
Illustration, Scribes, The people who copied the Bible ...
Each time the scribe came across the Hebrew word for God, he had to wipe his pen clean.
And when he came across the name of God, Jehovah (YHWH), he had to wash his whole body before he could write it.
Should a king address the scribe while writing that name he must take no notice of him.
Yahweh - means to be or to exist.
It means that God is self-existent not needing anything to exist and not being bound by time, space, or matter.
It is a statement that God is the essence of being and existing.
There is nothing more real than God himself.
When Moses was confronted by God at the burning bush to lead the Hebrew people.
Moses asked God.
What is you name?
What should I tell the people your name is?
“God said, I Am who I Am.
Don’t ever believe someone who tells you that Jesus never claimed to be God.
He clearly claimed to be God almighty.
Why does this matter?
Earlier in verse 33 Jesus tells the people that he came down from heaven.
Now, 2 verses later Jesus is using the holiest name of God to identify Himself.
Jesus says, Not only did I come down from heaven, but, Vs. 35, “… I AM the Bread of Life.”
This did not escape the ears of those nearby.
AND, what will God offering Himself as eternal bread says He will do?
When you fully trust in Him, He will satisfy the yearning and emptiness of your soul.
Illustration - Have you ever been famished at 5:30pm, knowing dinner was going to be at 6:30? ... but were so desperate to eat that you still opened the cabinet and gorged on a bunch of junk?
The, At 6pm when you were feeling sick with your stomach full of Cheetos, pretzels, and Soda you regretted not waiting, for the good food?
-You tried to satisfy your hunger with junk.
AND it left you with regrets.
-That’s exactly what sin does to our soul.
Leaves us sick and full of regret.
Jesus the creator of the soul gave you as a gift spiritual hunger.
-The world tries to feed us all kinds of junk to satisfy that hunger, but it always comes up short.
-When you accept Jesus as your Savior and Lord, He satisfies that hunger.
-He fills your soul with Himself.
-As you walk closely and grow in Him, He keeps satisfying that Hunger.
Much greater than eating any wonderful meal, Jesus made you so you would experience the spiritual pleasure of your soul being satisfied.
-God made you so your greatest pleasure would be experienced in Him.
-Jesus is God.
-Jesus is the bread from heaven.
-Jesus saves.
-Jesus will satisfy your hunger and thirst.
God absolutely satisfies.
Transition - Not only does Jesus absolutely satisfy, but He absolutely saves.
Section - God absolutely Saves
How does he absolutely save?
Read John 6:36-37
God Is Sovereign Over The Heart (on the screen)
“All that the Father gives me, will come to me.”
Illustration
There are a handful of time in life that things in nature are not logical, but true.
Example 1
The placebo effect.
Someone has a pain or a medical symptom, and the doctor prescribes them a medicine, but the medicine is nothing more than a sugar pill that came out of a prescription bottle & the pain (or symptom) goes away.
-Was the person lying about their pain?
No
-Was the pain real?
Yes
-Was the medicine real?
No
-Why did the real pain go away?
-It shouldn’t have.
It’s called the placebo effect.
We don’t know exactly how it works in our brain, we just know that sometimes it works… but it doesn’t logically make sense.
Example 2, this one is meant to be humorous.
