3\/ Jesus\u00a0 the Bread from Heaven<\/strong>, John 6:22-40<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is important to note that these events took place during the Passover period<\/strong>, because in some way, John the evangelist is drawing a certain parallel with it. For example, the provision of food that Jesus had just given them in the desert quickly reminded them of the manna<\/strong> they received in the time of Moses. But also the miraculous way in which God led them to cross the Red Sea in the midst of great difficulties, found an echo in the supernatural way in which Jesus now walked on the sea to meet his disciples and calmed the storm so that they could reach the other shore<\/strong>. Even the strange invitation of the Lord to “eat his flesh”, as the only means of salvation, also reminded the paschal lamb<\/strong> that had to be sacrificed and that the Israelites had to eat to be delivered from the wrath of the exterminating angel. These concepts were explained by the Lord to those who sought Him after seeing the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes.<\/p>\n

Jesus the Bread of Life<\/strong><\/p>\n

22 The following day the people who stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone away alone. 23 However, other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they ate bread when the Lord had given thanks. 24 When the people therefore saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they also got into boats and came to Capernaum, looking for Jesus.<\/p>\n

25 When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, \u201cRabbi, when did You come here?<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

26 Jesus answered them, \u201cTruly, truly I say to you, you seek Me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled<\/strong>. 27 Do not work for the food which perishes, but for that food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you<\/span>. For God the Father has set His seal on Him.\u201d<\/p>\n

28 Then they asked Him, \u201cWhat shall we do that we may work the works of God?\u201d 29 Jesus answered them, \u201cThis is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

30 Therefore they said to Him, \u201cWhat sign do You show then, that we may see and believe You? What work will You perform? 31 Our fathers ate manna in the desert. As it is written, \u2018He gave them bread from heaven to eat.\u2019[c]\u201d<\/p>\n

32 Then Jesus said, \u201cTruly, truly I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father<\/strong> gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

34 Then they said to Him, \u201cLord, give us this bread always<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

35 Jesus said to them, \u201cI am the bread of life<\/strong>. Whoever comes to Me shall never hunger,<\/span> and whoever believes in Me shall never thirst<\/span>. 36 But I told you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe. 37 All whom the Father gives Me will come to Me, and he who comes to Me I will never cast out. 38 For I came down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. 39 This is the will of the Father who has sent Me, that of all whom He has given Me, I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. 40 This is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.<\/strong>\u201d John 6:22-40<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jesus didn’t show interest in explaining to them how he had come from the other side of the sea, but instead focused their interest on something more important. After telling them the reason of why they were looking for Him, because while they only thought about the miracles and the benefits it had brought them, the Lord wanted to raise their thoughts above the material things so that they understood its spiritual meaning. Then He told them the most important spiritual truth, that He had come from heaven sent by His Father to give us eternal life. Vs.35- Jesus was talking about spiritual hunger & thirst, the people (as happens also today) were focused on the material things.<\/p>\n
