I Am the Bread of Life • I Am Changes Who I Am
John 6:1-69
The reason why John writes his Gospel:
“These have been written that you may BELIEVE Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and by BELIEVING you may have LIFE in His name.” John 20:31
Perhaps the most misunderstood and misused words in all of Christianity are the words FAITH and BELIEVE.
As soon as the context is Jesus, the words FAITH and BELIEVE are often confused with HOPE.
John wants you to know, WHO Jesus is.
“Then Jesus declared, I am the BREAD of LIFE. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.” John 6:35
John 6:2-69 (pg. 1,655)
v.2 “And a great crowd of people followed Jesus because they saw the MIRACULOUS SIGNS He had performed on the sick.”
v.5 “When Jesus looked up, He saw a great crowd coming toward Him, he said to Philip, Where shall we buy BREAD for these people to eat?”
v.15 “Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make Him king by FORCE…”
Jesus would in fact lead His disciples through the gates of Jerusalem during passover. Not to be CORONATED but to be CRUCIFIED.
v.27 “Jesus said to them, Do not WORK for food that SPOILS, but for food that endures to ETERNAL life, which the Son of Man will GIVE you.”
v.33 “For the BREAD of GOD is the bread that comes down from Heaven and GIVES LIFE to the world.”
v.35 “I am the BREAD of LIFE. Whoever COMES to ME will never go hungry and whoever BELIEVES in ME will never be thirsty.”
v.40 “For my Father’s will is that everyone who LOOKS to the Son and BELIEVES in the SON shall have ETERNAL LIFE, and I will raise them up, at the last day.”
