Title: Jesus Is The Bread of Life
Main Text: John 6:1-69

Key Points:

Desperate People Are After Jesus

  • Crowds followed Jesus not for who He was, but for what He could do (John 6:1-2).

The Miracle of the Loaves and Fish

  • Jesus fed 5,000 people with a small meal, revealing His divine provision (John 6:14).

Why Do We Follow Jesus?

  • The crowd’s pursuit was transactional, not relational (John 6:25-26).
  • Jesus calls for a deeper faith—one that seeks Him, not just His miracles.

Desperation & Divine Appointment

  • Jesus declares, “I am the Bread of Life” (John 6:32-35).
  • Many rejected Him because they were too familiar with His earthly background (John 6:41-42).

Spiritual Problems Require Spiritual Solutions

  • People wanted physical bread, but Jesus pointed to their deeper spiritual hunger.
  • Spiritual solutions: confession, repentance, surrender.

The Danger of Familiarity

  • Being too familiar with something (self-reliance, anger, past success) can hold us back.
  • What once protected us may now be dangerous (white-water rafting life vest analogy).

The Satisfied Soul

  • A truly satisfied soul isn’t consumed with the physical but is anchored in hope and purpose.
  • Suffering reveals whether we are truly satisfied in Christ.

Final Question: Are you pursuing the only One who can satisfy your soul?
