John 6:26
"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. 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.'"
The crowds have come to Jesus for physical food. What he is offering is vastly more important. God has made it possible for Jesus to give eternal life! The problem with those who confront Jesus in John's Gospel is that they ask for too little. Jesus is prepared to make them fully alive, joyful, and at peace through a living relationship with the forgiving God. |
