The Bread of Life (Part One) John 6:22-40

After the feeding of the five thousand men, the crowds come seeking Jesus. He recognized they were not seeking for the right reasons. He took the opportunity to teach them the spiritual truths behind the miracle of the loaves and the fishes. Here, we find one of the seven great "I AM" passages in the gospel of John. We are forced to deal with two seemingly contradictory truths...Divine sovereignty and human free will. The text does not resolve the tension between the two parallel truths. The Father gives believers to the Son. But believers must come and believe in order to be saved!
