John 6:24-35 "Food From Above"

The verses that we looked at last Sunday were those found in the Gospel of John in the 6th Chapter, verses 24-35.  Out of these verses I highlighted the following:  (28 Then they said to him, “What must we do to perform the works of God?”)

The point that I made during the sermon was that the crowd may well have been asking Jesus to show them how He performed the miracle of the 'Feeding of the Five Thousand'. Meaning that just maybe they wished for Him to reveal to them this trick of manifesting food from nothing.  To them, this was just a short-cut to feeding their earthly hunger.  The point of Jesus being spiritual food totally passed them by... 

Let us not get so wrapped up in the things of this world, those things that creep into our days, our lives, and try to rob us of our connection with Christ.  It's a short sermon, so please, give it a listen.

Be a blessing to someone today!

In Christ,

John 6:24-35 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
24 So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.

25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” 26 Jesus answered them, “Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. 27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal.” 28 Then they said to him, “What must we do to perform the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” 30 So they said to him, “What sign are you going to give us then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you performing? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” 32 Then Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is that which[a] comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.”


35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
