    Reading

    John 6:41–59 ESV
    So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” Jesus said these things in the synagogue, as he taught at Capernaum.

    Sermon

    They came to Jesus for the wrong reason
    The Father brings to The Son those He has chosen
    The Son will never reject those who The Father has brought to Him
    Jesus pointed to the miracles he performed as confirmation of God sending Him
    The Jews compared to Moses and the Manna
    Jesus pointed out that the Manna was provided by God
    Jesus is greater than that provision
    He is the “Bread”
    John 6:59 ESV
    Jesus said these things in the synagogue, as he taught at Capernaum.
    John 6:41 ESV
    So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
    the Jews grumbled about him
    Jesus had shot down their arguement so effectively
    because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
    the claim of Jesus did not miss their attention
    Jesus claim was bold and direct
    John 6:42 ESV
    They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”
    The Jews realised that Jesus was denying that he was born like any other human beings
    Jesus did not imply or say that they had misinterpreted his words
    They viewed Jesus as being guilty of presumption, if not outright blasphemy
    They are saying that they have known him since his childhood, and know the family.
    “How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”
    John 6:43–44 ESV
    Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.
    “Do not grumble among yourselves”
    “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.”
    “I will raise him up on the last day.”
    John 6:45–46 ESV
    It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father.
    “It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’”
    Isaiah 54:13 “All your children shall be taught by the LORD, and great shall be the peace of your children.”
    “Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me”
    Unless The Father draws, no one can come
    Everyone who listens to The Father and learns of him will come
    Grace always conquers
    It does what is sets out to do
    It is irresistible
    Such a person will embrace Christ by a true and living faith
    “not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father.”
    John 6:47–51 ESV
    Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
    “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.”
    “I am the bread of life.”
    “Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.”
    “This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. “
    “I am the living bread that came down from heaven.”
    “If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever.”
    “And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”
    Jesus is going to give himself - as a sacrifice for sin
    The Father gave the Son
    The Son gives himself
    To believe om Christ means to accept him as the Crucified One
    John 6:53–58 ESV
    So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”
    Truely, Truely - I most solemnly assure
    Jesus is NOT speaking literally, but figuratively
    To the Jews blood was very repulsive
    The Scriptures taught that the blood is the seat of life
    Leviticus 17:11 ESV
    For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it for you on the altar to make atonement for your souls, for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life.
    Jesus is saying “He who accepts, appropriates, and assimilates my vicarious sacrifice as the only ground of his salvation, remains in me and I in him.”
    Unbeliever:
    Unless by a living faith you accept, appropriate, and assimilate the Christ, trusting in his sacrifice (broken body and shed blood)
    as the only ground of your salvation
    you do not possess everlasting life (the love of God shed abroad in the heart, salvation full and free)
    Believer:
    Accept my sacrifice with a believing heart, digesting it spiritually, has everlasting life for the soul, and I will raise up his body gloriously at the last day, the great day of judgment.
    For his sacrifice (broken body and shed blood) is the real spiritual food and drink.
    Those who spiritually digests this food remains in the closest and most vital union with him.
    As the Father, the Ever-living One, commissioned Jesus, and is the fountain of life, so also he who spiritually digests will find in Jesus the source of life for himself.
    This is the real bread, the genuine source of spiritual life and nurture, even the One who does not owe his origin to this earthly sphere but came down from heaven.
    And this bread is far better than that mere shadow and type—namely, the manna in the wilderness—which your fathers ate, but which could not keep them alive in any sense whatever, not even physically, for they died.
    He who spiritually digests the true bread of life will live forever
    first, with respect to the soul
    afterward also with respect to the body which on the last day will be raised gloriously.
