Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry

John 6:22-40

When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?” 

Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”

Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”

Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

In the synagogue at Capernaum Jesus takes the bread as is starting-point for a deeper lesson.

   The crowd is all in favor of a Messiah who can provide free meals for the asking. No one can live without food. But Jesus comes to provide 'bread' that will satisfy more than physical hunger. He is the bread God gives, the one who comes to give life to the world/ Those who believe in him will never hunger.

Why?

People like followed Jesus is for the miracles and food. but Jesus told them he is the bread of life, whoever comes to Jesus will never go hungry, and whoever believes in Jesus will never be thirsty.

We ate the loaves and had our fill. But Jesus told us do not work for good that spoils, but for good that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.

To do the work of the Lord is to believe in the one he has sent, Jesu Christ, the Son of God!

耶穌知道眾人找耶穌是為了要得到好處，有得吃，得醫病等。耶穌不但指出人的問題，還指出該如何行的路。眾人問耶穌要做什麼工作?人很想靠自己做什麼事，人想要主動權，信是把主動權交給神！信是依靠、信任，完全信任神的安排、按照神的方法。更多的神蹟只會習以為常。眾人期待耶穌是第二個摩西。瑪哪更重要的是預表耶穌，瑪哪是解決暫時的問題，耶穌的道才能解決生命的問題。

人會以為自己的信是否不夠，耶穌指出到耶穌面前的神必保守到底，一個也不失落！我們信主的目的是得到永生。

Blessing is one who believes in the one God has sent, Jesus Christ.
