Christ The True Bread Of Life Series

In chapter 5, we saw Jesus go after the multitudes. In chapter 6, we see the multitudes go after Jesus. He is made known as the object of their desire and as the only one who can meet the sinner’s need. The impotent man evidenced no desire for the savior. He portrayed the natural man. Dead spiritually.

In verse 28, Man seeks to bring God into the humbling position of debtor to him. By his works he thinks he has earned salvation. Carnal man must come to ranks of beggar.

In verse 30, evidence of their unbelief. See or feel first.

In verse 31, contrast Christ with Moses. Fathers ate bread in the wilderness for 40 years. He had only fed them once. Can he repeat, John 4:12.

God uses bread and water to typify Christ for Israel to see. 1 Corinthians 10:2-3
