Searching and Sustenance

John 6 24-35

Passage worth reading again and again.

Follows on the from feeding of 5000

Strangely synoptic for John.

Crowd go looking for Jesus. Jesus recognises it was because the picnic that they hunt him down. Then he challenges them - what are you searching for?

The passage then goes on to discuss "the work of God"; what is it?

Jesus then talks in terms of feeding them spiritually with food and drink and that it it only through the Father that they will understand fully.

"I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."
