SUB-TOPIC 1: JESUS AS THE LIVING BREAD John 6:25-40
After the feeding of the five thousand, Jesus crossed Capernaum by boat. The multitude He fed desperately traced him to the place. Seeing them, Jesus said, ‘truly, truly, I say to you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. ‘This means that they seek him just because of miracle, not that they understood His significance, which is God’s concern for man and his needs.
Jesus urged them to labour for the food that endures to eternal. Such food can only be gotten from the son of man who has God’s approval. The people asked him what they must do as proof that they were doing the work of God. Jesus replied that they should believe in Him who was sent by God. They asked Him for a convincing sign to believe that He was truly sent by God –their father, they added that Moses gave their fathers manna in the wilderness which was sent down from heaven.
Jesus replied that manna was sent by God as a temporary relief from physical hunger, but God has also sent down living bread which gives life to the world. Anyone who comes to Jesus will no longer hunger.
In response to the people request for bread, Jesus replied “I am the bread of Life; he who comes to me shall not hunger; and he who believes in me shall never thirst. John 6:35
