John 6

Three things that Jesus said:

1. “You are seeking Me because I gave you a free lunch!”
   a. Jesus a King – The plan of the Jews, John 6:14-15
   b. Jesus Responds, John 27-29
   c. A Sign, John 30
   d. A Metaphor and a Rebuke, John 35, 40

2. “You do not believe Me when I say, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.’”
   a. Rejection of Jesus’ Claims, John 41-43
   b. Their Mistaken Self-confidence, John 44,63
   c. The Paradox of Coming to Jesus in Faith, James 4:6

3. “You say, ‘How can this Man give us his flesh to eat and blood to drink?’”
   a. The Offense of the Jews, Leviticus 17:10-11; John 6: 35,36,40,47
       See the parallel meaning of John 6:40 (literal) and 6:54 (metaphoric)
   b. Why Did Jesus use these Metaphors? John 6:48-58

4. The Conclusion of the Matter, John 6:60-68
