Bread from Heaven (John 6:16-40)

[Sung Psalm: 78]

Yes, Jesus is the Christ – the Son of God – the prophet who was to come. But there had been many prophets! There had been many sons of David – many anointed kings!

What will be different this time? In the backdrop is the catastrophic failure of Israel. As you look back in your life – do you see catastrophic failures? Maybe you've avoided 'catastrophe' so far – but still, when you hear the story of Israel, it's really easy to see yourself there!

You've battled against sin and temptation – you saw real victory and change – only to crumble...again...

What is going to be different this time?

This is why the three-fold message of John 6 is so important!

First, you must come to Jesus and believe in him as the Bread of Life.

Second, all those whom the Father has given Jesus will come to him – God must call you and draw you to Jesus.

And third, those who continue to feed upon Christ will have eternal life, and Jesus will raise him up at the last day.
