WHAT'S YOUR NEXT STUNT?


After a free feed of fishburgers, the crowd in John 6 wander off to their camp sites.  
Next morning… “Hey, Jesus has gone!... Let’s catch a ride with these latecomers over to Capernaum.  Mustn’t miss the next free feed!”

 At Capernaum…“Rabbi, when did you get here?”      
Too late!...you missed it.

Missed what??                                                                                         
The fastest boat sprint ever, at night, with a Skipper who can not only walk on water but calm the weather too!                                                                            
Nice try... but not even close
Yup, the staggering 5th miracle – a 3 in 1
How fast was the trip??... “IMMEDIATE”!!

“What’s your next sign so we can see and believe on you?... [Moses] gave them bread from heaven.”

Check out the situation here…                                        
This might still be Israel’s Promised Land but the Gentiles are in control. (Today, Jordon controls the Temple Mount) No matter how strong the evidence the Jews refuse to believe in Jesus Christ while the few that do are guided thru any storm by the Messiah - just like it is today!    

This is how He patiently answered them:

  • “I AM the Bread of Life (3 times and the 1st of 7 ‘I AM’s in John’s Gospel)… come to Me and you will never hunger or thirst… you shall live forever”  

  • “everyone that believeth on the Son may have everlasting life…whoso eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood… and so we don’t miss it, 4 times he says: I will raise him up at the last day”.

Just believe! Their muttered response??...                                                    
“Isn’t this Jesus son of Joseph?... How can he say He came down from heaven?”

If they only realized - this is the Son of Man offering eternal life…. but who must face death.
