MEALS, MIRACLES, THE MESSIAH
JESUS wasn’t all about just being nice and sweet but was about changing mindsets, hearts, walks, and structures. JESUS was not here to PLEASE CULTURE but to IMPACT IT!
QUESTION: EVER STOP FOLLOWING SOMEONE BECAUSE YOU GOT OFFENDED BY WHAT THEY SAID?
_John 6:66 And so from that time on many of the disciples turned their backs on Jesus and no longer walked with him.
John 6:60 After his disciples heard this, they said, “This is tough teaching, too tough to swallow.” Jesus sensed that his disciples were having a hard time with this and said, “Does this rattle you completely?
John 6:53-55 Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. 55 For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.
John 6:60 66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. 67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?"
John 6:26 Jesus replied, “Let me make this very clear, you came looking for me because I fed you a MEAL by a MIRACLE, not because you believe in me._
2 REASONS THEY BEGAN FOLLOWING HIM.
-
A MEAL (v. 26) a.“you came looking for me because I fed you a MEAL by a MIRACLE, not because you believe in me.
-
A MIRACLE (v. 2) a.Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased.
WHY DO WE FOLLOW HIM?
WHY DO WE GO TO CHURCH?
**TWO COMMON TRAPS: **
- NETWORKING
- NOT WORKING
John 6:27 Why would you strive for food that is perishable and not be passionate to seek the food of eternal life, which never spoils? I, the Son of Man, am ready to give you what matters most, for God the Father has destined me for this purpose.”
_John 6:51-53 I alone am this living Bread that has come to you from heaven. Eat this Bread and you will live forever. The living Bread I give you is my body, which I will offer as a sacrifice so that all may live.”
These words of Jesus sparked an angry outburst among the Jews. They protested, saying, “Does this man expect us to eat his body?” Jesus replied to them, “Listen to this eternal truth: Unless you eat the body of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you will not have eternal life._
APPLICATION:
MEALS & MIRACLES WONT SUSTAIN YOU… MESSIAH WILL.
John 6:70 Then Jesus shocked them with these words: “I have hand-picked you to be my twelve, knowing that one of you is the devil.”
