00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.620
 Amen. Please take your copy of God's Word and join me in John chapter 6.

00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:13.179
 Our text for today is John chapter 6 verses 52 through 59.

00:00:13.179 --> 00:00:21.059
! While you're getting there, I want to talk to you a little bit about our upcoming preaching schedule through the end of the year.

00:00:21.059 --> 00:00:25.179
 Just to kind of give you a little bit of an idea of the trajectory that we are headed on.

00:00:25.179 --> 00:00:31.059
 First, this will be my last week preaching for some time.

00:00:31.879 --> 00:00:36.219
 So the next two weeks, we're going to finish out John chapter 6.

00:00:36.460 --> 00:00:39.159
 And Francis Rojas is going to come and preach for us.

00:00:39.219 --> 00:00:41.219
 I'm really looking forward to that.

00:00:41.700 --> 00:00:44.460
 He is studying the chiastic structure.

00:00:44.899 --> 00:00:47.399
 So, pleased, really pleased with that.

00:00:48.340 --> 00:00:52.079
 The two weeks after that, we're going to take a little bit of a break from John.

00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:58.899
 And TJ Fisher and Alex Kohler, not as a tag team duo, but in two separate weeks,

00:00:59.379 --> 00:01:04.620
 are going to walk through the parable of the sower from Matthew chapter 13.

00:01:05.099 --> 00:01:09.319
 And then, if you can believe it, we're into Advent season.

00:01:09.739 --> 00:01:15.459
 It's already upon us, just four Sundays away after this Lord's Day.

00:01:15.459 --> 00:01:20.179
 So, as we have traditionally, we're going to preach through the Advent themes.

00:01:20.299 --> 00:01:25.439
 Hope, joy, peace, love, and various elders are going to take care of that.

00:01:25.679 --> 00:01:32.079
 Somehow, in the history of our church, it became a tradition that I don't preach those Advent themes.

00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:35.939
 And I'm happy for that, because December is a crazy month, isn't it?

00:01:36.039 --> 00:01:40.539
 And the guys really kindly jump in and give me a little bit of space for that.

00:01:41.119 --> 00:01:43.979
 I also want to let you know that I am going to be taking a sabbatical.

00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:50.640
 It wasn't planned to do so this year, but your elders really love me and care well for my soul.

00:01:51.240 --> 00:01:54.939
 They know how incredibly busy I am and thin I'm running.

00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:58.000
 So, I never take a break and do nothing.

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:01.000
 There's always something going on in the service of the church.

00:02:01.180 --> 00:02:04.540
 So, I kind of want to call them planning sabbaticals.

00:02:05.020 --> 00:02:08.800
 Big step back, kind of out of the fray, taking a look at next year.

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:15.980
 Lots of time in the Word and prayer, thinking about where the Lord may be leading us into 2026.

00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:19.280
 I'm going to be doing that mid-November into the beginning of December.

00:02:19.540 --> 00:02:20.620
 You'll hear more about it.

00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:26.980
 I won't be entirely gone, but a number of responsibilities I'll set aside for that time.

00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:28.760
 So, there we are. That's what we're up to.

00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:35.500
 Really happy that I could be here with you this morning and looking once again at John chapter 6.

00:02:35.500 --> 00:02:41.939
 Before I pray and read the text, I want to remind you where we've been in this chapter.

00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:44.780
 So, there's a couple of miracles that take place.

00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:52.199
 And in John's pattern, we see the record of miracles and then teaching.

00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:57.439
 So, at the beginning of John 6, Jesus feeds the 5,000.

00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:07.439
 And to highlight these, I've been arguing to you that there's a particular literary structure used all throughout this book.

00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:13.659
 If you don't know what a chiasm is, I've outlined today's text for you in the bulletin so you can kind of see it.

00:03:13.900 --> 00:03:17.439
 The way the text can fold on top of itself, that corresponds.

00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:24.919
 And the central point of that particular section of Scripture is meant to draw our attention.

00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:27.439
 Give us an interpretive lens.

00:03:27.659 --> 00:03:30.859
 Help us to understand it a bit deeper.

00:03:31.500 --> 00:03:38.840
 So, when Jesus feeds the 5,000, the central verse is John chapter 6 and verse 10,

00:03:38.979 --> 00:03:40.000
 where he says,

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.300
 Have the people sit down.

00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:45.180
 And John adds,

00:03:45.379 --> 00:03:50.020
 Now there was much grass in the place.

00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.900
 Jesus being seen as the great shepherd,

00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:00.840
 as John chapter 10 corresponds to John chapter 6.

00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:03.020
 Leaving this miracle,

00:04:03.020 --> 00:04:07.400
 The apostles go on across the sea.

00:04:07.540 --> 00:04:11.420
 And Jesus joins them later by walking on water.

00:04:11.600 --> 00:04:15.580
 And he calms that storm and takes them immediately to the other side.

00:04:15.740 --> 00:04:19.500
 And when they see him, understandably in verse 19, they're afraid.

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:21.620
 And he says to them in verse 20,

00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:24.759
 Again, this is the central piece of that passage.

00:04:25.500 --> 00:04:28.360
 It is I, or you could translate that,

00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:29.980
 I am,

00:04:30.540 --> 00:04:32.240
 declaring himself to be God.

00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:32.980
 And then says,

00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:36.259
 Do not be afraid.

00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:40.519
 And it's after this that he arrives at the shore.

00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:42.439
 And he's in Capernaum.

00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:46.280
 And the bread of life discourse begins.

00:04:46.860 --> 00:04:50.100
 This mob that he fed on one side of the sea

00:04:50.100 --> 00:04:52.360
 has now come around to the other side of the sea.

00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.100
 And they're seeking him.

00:04:54.180 --> 00:04:56.500
 But he says in verse 26 and 27,

00:04:56.819 --> 00:04:58.560
 Truly, truly, I say to you,

00:04:59.139 --> 00:05:01.660
 you are seeking me not because you saw signs,

00:05:01.660 --> 00:05:05.820
 but because you ate your fill of the loaves.

00:05:05.939 --> 00:05:11.660
 They were coming to him for temporary, temporal food.

00:05:11.860 --> 00:05:13.140
 And then he says in verse 27,

00:05:13.360 --> 00:05:15.600
 Do not work for the food that perishes,

00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:19.420
 but for the food that endures to eternal life,

00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:21.440
 which the Son of Man will give to you.

00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:26.699
 For on him God the Father has set his seal.

00:05:27.860 --> 00:05:32.040
 And then the bread of life discourse continues,

00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.040
 which we looked at last week.

00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:37.819
 And the emphasis of that next section

00:05:37.819 --> 00:05:42.279
 is the rejection of Jesus as the bread of life.

00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:45.859
 The central part of that text is verse 42,

00:05:45.859 --> 00:05:47.259
 where they said,

00:05:47.859 --> 00:05:49.579
 Is not this Jesus, the Son of Joseph,

00:05:49.739 --> 00:05:51.319
 whose father and mother we know?

00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.259
 How does he now say,

00:05:54.979 --> 00:05:58.199
 I have come down from heaven?

00:05:59.119 --> 00:06:01.059
 We're going to see all of this continue on

00:06:01.059 --> 00:06:03.139
 in today's text and on through

00:06:03.139 --> 00:06:05.459
 the end of the chapter.

00:06:05.459 --> 00:06:09.359
 The rejection of Jesus by the Jews, largely.

00:06:10.299 --> 00:06:12.439
 And then some acceptance of him

00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:13.759
 toward the end of the chapter.

00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:17.239
 The section from last Sunday

00:06:17.239 --> 00:06:19.939
 concludes with the following words,

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.839
 which will get us into our text for today.

00:06:22.979 --> 00:06:25.319
 So I'll begin reading in verse 48.

00:06:25.539 --> 00:06:26.199
 Jesus says,

00:06:26.699 --> 00:06:28.899
 I am the bread of life.

00:06:29.659 --> 00:06:31.959
 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness,

00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:33.419
 and they died.

00:06:33.420 --> 00:06:35.780
 This is the bread that comes down from heaven

00:06:35.780 --> 00:06:38.319
 so that one may eat of it and not die.

00:06:39.340 --> 00:06:41.759
 I am the living bread that came down from heaven.

00:06:42.220 --> 00:06:43.800
 If anyone eats of this bread,

00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:45.199
 he will live forever.

00:06:45.819 --> 00:06:47.500
 And the bread that I will give

00:06:47.500 --> 00:06:50.980
 for the life of the world is my flesh.

00:06:51.540 --> 00:06:54.360
 Which brings us to verse 52.

00:06:54.520 --> 00:06:56.400
 Before I read it, let's pray together.

00:06:57.540 --> 00:06:58.840
 Father, help us, we pray,

00:06:58.939 --> 00:07:01.500
 as we take up your word together this morning.

00:07:01.500 --> 00:07:04.459
 We want to rightly understand it

00:07:04.459 --> 00:07:05.740
 and apply it.

00:07:05.819 --> 00:07:06.939
 And we humbly recognize

00:07:06.939 --> 00:07:09.959
 that we absolutely need your help to do so.

00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:13.060
 This was written for your glory

00:07:13.060 --> 00:07:14.339
 and for our good.

00:07:14.459 --> 00:07:16.199
 And we want to believe its promises

00:07:16.199 --> 00:07:17.620
 and obey its commands

00:07:17.620 --> 00:07:20.860
 and have affection for you, its author.

00:07:21.300 --> 00:07:24.139
 So we ask that you would help us to this end.

00:07:24.300 --> 00:07:25.839
 And we pray it in Christ's name.

00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:27.439
 Amen.

00:07:27.439 --> 00:07:30.680
 John chapter 6, beginning in verse 52.

00:07:31.399 --> 00:07:33.800
 The Jews then disputed among themselves,

00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:34.560
 saying,

00:07:35.180 --> 00:07:37.860
 How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

00:07:38.899 --> 00:07:40.279
 So Jesus said to them,

00:07:40.879 --> 00:07:42.639
 Truly, truly, I say to you,

00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:45.139
 unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man

00:07:45.139 --> 00:07:46.120
 and drink his blood,

00:07:46.220 --> 00:07:47.680
 you have no life in you.

00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:50.019
 Whoever feeds on my flesh

00:07:50.019 --> 00:07:51.159
 and drinks my blood

00:07:51.159 --> 00:07:52.459
 has eternal life,

00:07:52.659 --> 00:07:55.319
 and I will raise him up on the last day.

00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:57.800
 For my flesh is true food,

00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.360
 and my blood is true drink.

00:08:01.099 --> 00:08:02.480
 Whoever feeds on my flesh

00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:03.439
 and drinks my blood

00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:04.620
 abides in me,

00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:06.240
 and I in him.

00:08:07.219 --> 00:08:08.920
 As the living Father sent me,

00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:10.939
 and I live because of the Father,

00:08:11.060 --> 00:08:12.519
 so whoever feeds on me,

00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:15.319
 he also will live because of me.

00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.319
 This is the bread that came down from heaven.

00:08:18.899 --> 00:08:21.579
 Not like the bread the fathers ate and died,

00:08:21.579 --> 00:08:23.959
 whoever feeds on this bread

00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:25.519
 will live forever.

00:08:26.779 --> 00:08:28.979
 Jesus said these things in the synagogue

00:08:28.979 --> 00:08:31.579
 as he taught at Capernaum.

00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:33.919
 So notice first,

00:08:34.139 --> 00:08:35.460
 before we get into our outline,

00:08:35.819 --> 00:08:37.240
 the structure of the text.

00:08:37.319 --> 00:08:39.899
 And again, I included that in there for you.

00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:41.399
 I won't spend much time on

00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:43.939
 walking through it detail by detail,

00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:45.720
 but I hope it helps you see

00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:47.579
 why is there repetition

00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:50.420
 repetition in the way that Jesus is speaking

00:08:50.420 --> 00:08:53.900
 and the way John records this dialogue.

00:08:54.280 --> 00:08:55.500
 It's important, right?

00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.400
 Again, drawing our attention

00:08:57.400 --> 00:08:59.500
 to a central point.

00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:01.980
 It doesn't mean the other parts aren't important,

00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:03.960
 but it's meant to help us think

00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.300
 as we think about the entirety of the text.

00:09:07.460 --> 00:09:10.040
 So notice verse 55,

00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:13.879
 For my flesh is true food

00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:18.259
 and my blood is true drink.

00:09:18.899 --> 00:09:21.399
 Something for us to meditate on

00:09:21.399 --> 00:09:23.039
 across the rest of today

00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:25.319
 and into the rest of the week.

00:09:25.539 --> 00:09:26.719
 What does Jesus mean?

00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:29.039
 My flesh is true food

00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:33.279
 and my blood is true drink.

00:09:33.899 --> 00:09:36.319
 I hope our bit of time together in this text

00:09:36.319 --> 00:09:37.819
 will help us comprehend

00:09:37.820 --> 00:09:40.680
 all that's contained therein.

00:09:41.520 --> 00:09:42.460
 So our outline today,

00:09:42.560 --> 00:09:43.180
 number one,

00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:46.860
 the offense of the invitation.

00:09:47.220 --> 00:09:50.460
 And we see this in verse 52, right?

00:09:50.460 --> 00:09:52.140
 After this statement,

00:09:52.260 --> 00:09:53.620
 this beginning of this discourse

00:09:53.620 --> 00:09:54.520
 that Jesus is giving,

00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:59.240
 the Jews then disputed among themselves,

00:09:59.500 --> 00:10:00.180
 saying,

00:10:00.800 --> 00:10:05.400
 How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:09.379
 Now, no reasonable person

00:10:09.379 --> 00:10:11.039
 would think at this point

00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.100
 that Jesus is suggesting cannibalism

00:10:15.100 --> 00:10:18.059
 and offering up himself for a meal.

00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:20.959
 But this seems to be what they're doing.

00:10:21.139 --> 00:10:23.079
 I don't know the entire nature

00:10:23.079 --> 00:10:26.220
 of the dispute that they have,

00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:27.819
 but the question they ask is,

00:10:27.899 --> 00:10:28.740
 How is it possible

00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:33.100
 that this man can give us himself to eat?

00:10:33.100 --> 00:10:36.240
 The fact that they disputed

00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:39.159
 means that they argued sharply

00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:40.060
 with one another.

00:10:40.180 --> 00:10:43.879
 It's a very strong Greek verb.

00:10:44.180 --> 00:10:46.220
 They get into a conflict with one another

00:10:46.220 --> 00:10:48.220
 about what he means by this.

00:10:48.779 --> 00:10:50.980
 He's not at all being literal.

00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:52.180
 Of course,

00:10:52.779 --> 00:10:55.180
 he is speaking in metaphor.

00:10:55.980 --> 00:10:57.980
 Had anybody been paying any attention

00:10:57.980 --> 00:11:00.100
 to everything he said up to this point,

00:11:00.100 --> 00:11:02.740
 they would know it's a metaphor.

00:11:03.860 --> 00:11:06.420
 But what is it that he means?

00:11:07.340 --> 00:11:09.840
 They argue about this.

00:11:10.899 --> 00:11:12.759
 I think the thing that's most important

00:11:12.759 --> 00:11:13.680
 to note here

00:11:13.680 --> 00:11:19.200
 is the attitude of their unbelief.

00:11:20.159 --> 00:11:21.060
 Who do they turn to

00:11:21.060 --> 00:11:22.060
 when they don't understand

00:11:22.060 --> 00:11:24.120
 what it is that he is saying?

00:11:25.480 --> 00:11:26.399
 Not to him.

00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:29.779
 They're not seeking from the Savior

00:11:29.779 --> 00:11:33.740
 to understand what he might mean.

00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:35.519
 He says something difficult

00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:36.579
 for them to understand,

00:11:36.679 --> 00:11:37.600
 and who do they turn to?

00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:39.279
 To one another.

00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:42.559
 They do not ask him for clarification.

00:11:43.699 --> 00:11:45.299
 They turn to each other

00:11:45.299 --> 00:11:47.819
 in bitter conflict.

00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:48.759
 They dispute.

00:11:48.939 --> 00:11:50.759
 They argue sharply.

00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:52.679
 They philosophize about

00:11:52.679 --> 00:11:54.960
 what could be meant by such a thing

00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:56.060
 instead of listening

00:11:56.060 --> 00:11:57.620
 to the Savior

00:11:57.620 --> 00:11:59.960
 and seeking to understand

00:11:59.960 --> 00:12:01.139
 what he means

00:12:01.139 --> 00:12:04.960
 by having life in him.

00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:07.160
 This is the way.

00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:09.540
 This is the nature of the Gospel.

00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:11.180
 It's offensive to those

00:12:11.180 --> 00:12:12.860
 who don't believe.

00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:17.080
 How could this be so?

00:12:18.280 --> 00:12:19.600
 Don't find yourself

00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:21.740
 in this camp.

00:12:21.740 --> 00:12:24.360
 Perhaps the Gospel comes to you

00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:27.259
 and it strikes at your sinful heart.

00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:30.700
 Seek clarity from the Savior.

00:12:31.580 --> 00:12:32.860
 Find yourself offended.

00:12:33.680 --> 00:12:34.600
 Listen on.

00:12:34.919 --> 00:12:37.060
 Understand more.

00:12:37.180 --> 00:12:40.360
 There's such an offer given here.

00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:43.399
 So secondly, we see in the text

00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:49.019
 the necessity of saving faith.

00:12:49.019 --> 00:12:53.740
 verse 53 and 54.

00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:57.240
 In response to their dispute,

00:12:57.659 --> 00:13:00.059
 Jesus adds something on top.

00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.079
 How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:04.659
 They say in verse 52.

00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:06.980
 So, John records,

00:13:07.179 --> 00:13:09.699
 Jesus said to them,

00:13:10.819 --> 00:13:12.120
 truly, truly, I say to you,

00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:15.259
 unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man

00:13:15.259 --> 00:13:19.100
 and drink his blood,

00:13:19.779 --> 00:13:21.360
 you have no life in you.

00:13:22.060 --> 00:13:24.440
 Whoever feeds on my flesh

00:13:24.440 --> 00:13:26.419
 and drinks my blood

00:13:26.419 --> 00:13:27.379
 has eternal life

00:13:27.379 --> 00:13:28.860
 and I will raise him up

00:13:28.860 --> 00:13:30.399
 on the last day.

00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:32.720
 The Jews of this narrative

00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:34.379
 had already found the idea

00:13:34.379 --> 00:13:35.980
 of eating Jesus' flesh

00:13:35.980 --> 00:13:36.960
 offensive.

00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:40.900
 But now Jesus expands the metaphor

00:13:40.900 --> 00:13:44.100
 to drinking his blood.

00:13:45.620 --> 00:13:47.200
 Why is this added?

00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:51.300
 Why is this compounding the offense?

00:13:52.660 --> 00:13:54.759
 The law of Moses did not allow

00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:56.519
 for the drinking of blood

00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.060
 or the eating of meat with blood

00:13:58.060 --> 00:14:00.160
 still in it.

00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:02.399
 You can reference Leviticus 17,

00:14:03.019 --> 00:14:04.059
 Leviticus 19,

00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:06.679
 Deuteronomy 12.

00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:10.279
 This was pagan stuff.

00:14:11.579 --> 00:14:13.120
 So this addition to the metaphor

00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:17.399
 just adds to the offense

00:14:17.399 --> 00:14:19.919
 when the point of the metaphor

00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:23.019
 is being missed.

00:14:23.839 --> 00:14:25.399
 So let's be very sure

00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:27.799
 that we don't miss the point

00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:29.039
 of the metaphor.

00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:32.019
 Now a small aside I think

00:14:32.019 --> 00:14:33.879
 is necessary here

00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:35.240
 at this point.

00:14:36.819 --> 00:14:37.419
 Catholics,

00:14:37.860 --> 00:14:38.740
 and some others,

00:14:38.839 --> 00:14:39.899
 but predominantly Catholics,

00:14:40.019 --> 00:14:41.959
 are quick to make these verses

00:14:41.959 --> 00:14:43.039
 sacramental

00:14:43.620 --> 00:14:44.919
 and use them

00:14:44.919 --> 00:14:45.860
 to argue

00:14:45.860 --> 00:14:47.039
 for transubstantiation,

00:14:48.319 --> 00:14:49.219
 which is the belief

00:14:49.219 --> 00:14:50.699
 that the bread and wine

00:14:50.699 --> 00:14:52.259
 literally become

00:14:52.259 --> 00:14:53.500
 the body and blood of Jesus

00:14:53.500 --> 00:14:55.000
 in the Lord's Supper.

00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:56.919
 This is their run-to,

00:14:57.039 --> 00:14:58.459
 go-to text.

00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:00.959
 Now I suggest to you

00:15:00.959 --> 00:15:02.500
 that there is some allusion

00:15:02.500 --> 00:15:03.079
 to the supper

00:15:03.079 --> 00:15:04.799
 in these verses.

00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:07.099
 We could get some understanding

00:15:07.099 --> 00:15:07.980
 of the supper,

00:15:08.099 --> 00:15:09.159
 but that's not

00:15:09.159 --> 00:15:10.279
 what's being taught

00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:11.599
 about here.

00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:13.179
 We should be very careful

00:15:13.179 --> 00:15:14.959
 not to read more

00:15:14.959 --> 00:15:15.860
 into the text

00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:17.459
 than the purpose

00:15:17.459 --> 00:15:19.659
 of the context

00:15:19.659 --> 00:15:21.279
 in which it sits.

00:15:21.980 --> 00:15:23.459
 It's a little hermeneutical

00:15:23.459 --> 00:15:25.159
 exercise that could be done

00:15:25.159 --> 00:15:26.000
 at this point,

00:15:26.039 --> 00:15:27.500
 which I'll spare you.

00:15:27.500 --> 00:15:29.179
 So what is

00:15:29.179 --> 00:15:30.080
 the point

00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:31.919
 of the metaphor?

00:15:33.559 --> 00:15:33.879
 Jesus,

00:15:34.220 --> 00:15:34.299
 in

00:15:34.299 --> 00:15:37.440
 suggesting that

00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:38.679
 his flesh and blood

00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:39.620
 must be

00:15:39.620 --> 00:15:40.600
 consumed,

00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:42.240
 is certainly

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:43.460
 referring

00:15:43.460 --> 00:15:45.299
 to his soon-coming

00:15:45.299 --> 00:15:45.879
 sacrifice

00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:47.379
 and teaching those

00:15:47.379 --> 00:15:48.399
 who will hear him

00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:49.879
 that identification

00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:51.659
 with his death

00:15:51.659 --> 00:15:53.539
 grants the believer

00:15:53.539 --> 00:15:54.879
 life.

00:15:54.879 --> 00:15:56.519
 believing

00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:57.399
 that he

00:15:57.399 --> 00:15:59.000
 is the Christ

00:15:59.000 --> 00:15:59.759
 and that his body

00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:00.659
 will be broken

00:16:00.659 --> 00:16:01.419
 and his blood

00:16:01.419 --> 00:16:02.659
 will be

00:16:02.659 --> 00:16:04.019
 spilt.

00:16:04.899 --> 00:16:05.799
 Listen to the

00:16:05.799 --> 00:16:06.460
 preceding verses.

00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:07.460
 Just a few.

00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:09.279
 John 6,

00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:11.200
 verse 28 and 29.

00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:12.960
 Then they said to him,

00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:14.039
 what must we do

00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:14.799
 to be doing

00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:15.539
 the works

00:16:15.539 --> 00:16:16.720
 of God?

00:16:16.779 --> 00:16:17.200
 How do we

00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:18.039
 please

00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:19.120
 God?

00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:20.759
 Jesus answered them,

00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:21.480
 verse 29,

00:16:21.899 --> 00:16:23.019
 this is the work

00:16:23.019 --> 00:16:23.580
 of God

00:16:23.580 --> 00:16:25.179
 that you believe

00:16:25.179 --> 00:16:26.519
 in him

00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:28.440
 whom he has sent.

00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:30.700
 Don't separate that out

00:16:30.700 --> 00:16:31.340
 of the context.

00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:32.039
 There it is.

00:16:32.299 --> 00:16:33.320
 The work is

00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:34.740
 believe.

00:16:35.700 --> 00:16:36.539
 Eat the flesh

00:16:36.539 --> 00:16:37.240
 and drink the blood

00:16:37.240 --> 00:16:38.039
 is the metaphor

00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:39.480
 to help us understand

00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:40.419
 what it is

00:16:40.419 --> 00:16:41.299
 we're to believe

00:16:41.299 --> 00:16:42.179
 in.

00:16:43.180 --> 00:16:44.120
 Another place,

00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:45.659
 verse 40,

00:16:45.659 --> 00:16:47.360
 for this is the will

00:16:47.360 --> 00:16:48.000
 of my Father

00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:49.139
 that everyone

00:16:49.139 --> 00:16:49.759
 who looks

00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:50.500
 on the Son

00:16:50.500 --> 00:16:51.519
 and believes

00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:52.159
 in him

00:16:52.159 --> 00:16:53.279
 should have

00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:54.059
 eternal life

00:16:54.059 --> 00:16:55.079
 and I will

00:16:55.079 --> 00:16:56.120
 raise him up

00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:58.000
 on the last day.

00:16:59.059 --> 00:17:00.179
 Don't overcomplicate

00:17:00.179 --> 00:17:01.219
 what the metaphor

00:17:01.219 --> 00:17:02.100
 means.

00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:02.799
 Identify,

00:17:03.100 --> 00:17:04.000
 believe in

00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:04.799
 Jesus'

00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:05.799
 sacrifice

00:17:05.799 --> 00:17:07.519
 on your behalf.

00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:09.559
 Previously,

00:17:09.700 --> 00:17:10.059
 I read,

00:17:10.119 --> 00:17:11.039
 leading into this text,

00:17:11.159 --> 00:17:11.899
 verse 48

00:17:11.899 --> 00:17:12.680
 through 51.

00:17:13.139 --> 00:17:14.059
 Listen to it now

00:17:14.059 --> 00:17:15.440
 with verse 47

00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:16.039
 added.

00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:17.220
 So this is John 6,

00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:18.359
 verse 47

00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:19.759
 and following.

00:17:20.619 --> 00:17:21.099
 Truly, truly,

00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:21.960
 I say to you,

00:17:22.619 --> 00:17:23.919
 whoever believes

00:17:23.919 --> 00:17:26.240
 has eternal life.

00:17:27.319 --> 00:17:28.819
 I am the bread of life.

00:17:29.740 --> 00:17:30.799
 Your fathers ate

00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:31.379
 the manna

00:17:31.379 --> 00:17:32.259
 in the wilderness

00:17:32.259 --> 00:17:34.259
 and they died.

00:17:35.379 --> 00:17:35.899
 Temporal,

00:17:35.980 --> 00:17:37.099
 temporal provision

00:17:37.099 --> 00:17:38.919
 and they died.

00:17:39.879 --> 00:17:40.759
 This is the bread

00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:41.200
 that comes down

00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:41.619
 from heaven

00:17:41.619 --> 00:17:42.359
 so that one may

00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:42.879
 eat of it

00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:44.740
 and not die.

00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:46.640
 I am the living bread

00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:47.240
 that came down

00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:47.700
 from heaven

00:17:47.700 --> 00:17:48.560
 and in your eats

00:17:48.560 --> 00:17:49.140
 of this bread

00:17:49.140 --> 00:17:50.240
 he will live forever

00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:51.360
 and the bread

00:17:51.360 --> 00:17:52.320
 that I will give

00:17:52.320 --> 00:17:53.100
 for the life

00:17:53.100 --> 00:17:54.020
 of the world

00:17:54.020 --> 00:17:56.140
 is my flesh.

00:17:57.140 --> 00:17:58.060
 And this is what

00:17:58.060 --> 00:17:58.780
 causes

00:17:58.780 --> 00:18:00.100
 the commotion

00:18:00.100 --> 00:18:01.120
 amongst them,

00:18:01.220 --> 00:18:02.540
 the unbelief

00:18:02.540 --> 00:18:03.520
 and the conflict

00:18:03.520 --> 00:18:04.900
 that follows.

00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:07.800
 All of this

00:18:07.800 --> 00:18:09.440
 need not become

00:18:09.440 --> 00:18:10.260
 more complicated

00:18:10.260 --> 00:18:11.620
 than this.

00:18:11.619 --> 00:18:13.799
 our souls

00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:15.000
 will hunger

00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.079
 and they will thirst

00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:18.659
 until they find

00:18:18.659 --> 00:18:19.839
 their full

00:18:19.839 --> 00:18:20.799
 satisfaction

00:18:20.799 --> 00:18:22.299
 in Christ.

00:18:23.299 --> 00:18:24.939
 Our souls

00:18:24.939 --> 00:18:25.979
 long

00:18:25.979 --> 00:18:27.319
 to be restored

00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:28.579
 in relationship

00:18:28.579 --> 00:18:29.979
 to the Father

00:18:29.979 --> 00:18:31.059
 and this comes

00:18:31.059 --> 00:18:31.959
 through

00:18:31.959 --> 00:18:32.839
 the sacrificial

00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:33.579
 work of Jesus

00:18:33.579 --> 00:18:34.659
 on behalf

00:18:34.659 --> 00:18:35.239
 of his people.

00:18:35.839 --> 00:18:37.279
 We just have to believe

00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:38.699
 that that's true.

00:18:38.700 --> 00:18:40.700
 this happens

00:18:40.700 --> 00:18:41.319
 when we take

00:18:41.319 --> 00:18:42.160
 hold

00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:43.720
 of who he is

00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:45.059
 and what he has

00:18:45.059 --> 00:18:45.700
 accomplished

00:18:45.700 --> 00:18:47.160
 for all

00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:48.120
 who will believe

00:18:48.120 --> 00:18:49.080
 in him.

00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:50.380
 That's what Jesus

00:18:50.380 --> 00:18:50.940
 is teaching

00:18:50.940 --> 00:18:51.960
 in the Bread of Life

00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:53.160
 discourse.

00:18:54.640 --> 00:18:55.720
 A quotation

00:18:55.720 --> 00:18:56.420
 that I included

00:18:56.420 --> 00:18:56.799
 in your

00:18:56.799 --> 00:18:58.160
 bulletin

00:18:58.160 --> 00:18:59.600
 on this text

00:18:59.600 --> 00:19:00.039
 this is

00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:01.000
 Charles Spurgeon

00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:01.819
 talking about

00:19:01.819 --> 00:19:02.640
 this text

00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:03.259
 he said

00:19:03.259 --> 00:19:05.220
 God be thanked

00:19:05.220 --> 00:19:06.500
 for the simplicity

00:19:06.500 --> 00:19:08.220
 of the gospel.

00:19:09.180 --> 00:19:09.839
 The longer

00:19:09.839 --> 00:19:10.660
 I live

00:19:10.660 --> 00:19:11.039
 the more

00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:11.720
 I bless

00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:12.119
 God

00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:12.779
 that we have

00:19:12.779 --> 00:19:13.599
 not received

00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:14.220
 a classical

00:19:14.220 --> 00:19:14.640
 gospel

00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:15.619
 or a mathematical

00:19:15.619 --> 00:19:16.180
 gospel

00:19:16.180 --> 00:19:17.680
 or a metaphysical

00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:18.140
 gospel

00:19:18.140 --> 00:19:19.559
 it is not a gospel

00:19:19.559 --> 00:19:20.599
 confined to

00:19:20.599 --> 00:19:21.119
 scholars

00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:21.839
 and men

00:19:21.839 --> 00:19:22.440
 of genius

00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:24.059
 but a poor

00:19:24.059 --> 00:19:24.859
 man's gospel

00:19:24.859 --> 00:19:26.519
 a plowman's

00:19:26.519 --> 00:19:26.920
 gospel

00:19:26.920 --> 00:19:28.279
 for that is

00:19:28.279 --> 00:19:28.640
 the kind

00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:29.119
 of gospel

00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:29.900
 which we can

00:19:29.900 --> 00:19:30.900
 live upon

00:19:30.900 --> 00:19:32.440
 and die upon

00:19:32.440 --> 00:19:34.340
 it is not to us

00:19:34.340 --> 00:19:35.300
 sorry

00:19:35.300 --> 00:19:35.940
 it is not

00:19:35.940 --> 00:19:36.660
 to us

00:19:36.660 --> 00:19:37.740
 not the luxury

00:19:37.740 --> 00:19:38.500
 of refinement

00:19:38.500 --> 00:19:40.400
 but the staple

00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:41.680
 food

00:19:41.680 --> 00:19:43.220
 of life.

00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:45.200
 You want

00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:46.160
 life

00:19:46.160 --> 00:19:47.040
 and eternal

00:19:47.040 --> 00:19:47.640
 life?

00:19:48.019 --> 00:19:49.200
 It comes

00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:50.019
 by being

00:19:50.019 --> 00:19:51.340
 sustained

00:19:51.340 --> 00:19:52.780
 by Jesus

00:19:52.780 --> 00:19:54.280
 himself.

00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:56.500
 So we see

00:19:56.500 --> 00:19:57.320
 in verse 53

00:19:57.320 --> 00:19:58.080
 and 54

00:19:58.080 --> 00:19:59.640
 the necessity

00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:01.520
 of saving

00:20:01.520 --> 00:20:01.980
 faith

00:20:01.980 --> 00:20:03.440
 justified

00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:04.240
 by grace

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:05.060
 through faith

00:20:05.060 --> 00:20:06.220
 in Christ

00:20:06.220 --> 00:20:07.440
 alone.

00:20:08.280 --> 00:20:09.040
 But praise

00:20:09.040 --> 00:20:09.440
 God

00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:10.000
 it doesn't

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:10.700
 end

00:20:10.700 --> 00:20:11.400
 there.

00:20:12.300 --> 00:20:12.860
 Our justification

00:20:12.860 --> 00:20:14.060
 is a wonderful

00:20:14.060 --> 00:20:14.540
 thing

00:20:14.540 --> 00:20:16.080
 to glory in

00:20:16.080 --> 00:20:17.520
 but he goes

00:20:17.520 --> 00:20:18.140
 on

00:20:18.140 --> 00:20:20.180
 verses 55

00:20:20.180 --> 00:20:21.740
 through 57

00:20:21.740 --> 00:20:22.259
 we see

00:20:22.259 --> 00:20:23.060
 thirdly

00:20:23.060 --> 00:20:25.100
 the union

00:20:25.100 --> 00:20:27.340
 of the living

00:20:27.339 --> 00:20:29.019
 the union

00:20:29.019 --> 00:20:30.099
 the uniting

00:20:30.099 --> 00:20:30.879
 of

00:20:30.879 --> 00:20:32.659
 the living

00:20:32.659 --> 00:20:34.179
 here we see

00:20:34.179 --> 00:20:34.359
 the

00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:35.419
 for my flesh

00:20:35.419 --> 00:20:35.899
 is true

00:20:35.899 --> 00:20:36.299
 food

00:20:36.299 --> 00:20:37.119
 and my blood

00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:38.519
 is true

00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:40.019
 drink

00:20:40.019 --> 00:20:40.599
 again

00:20:40.599 --> 00:20:41.379
 temporal food

00:20:41.379 --> 00:20:41.959
 providing for

00:20:41.959 --> 00:20:42.639
 temporal life

00:20:42.639 --> 00:20:43.240
 but Jesus

00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:44.240
 providing for

00:20:44.240 --> 00:20:45.359
 eternal

00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:46.659
 life

00:20:46.659 --> 00:20:48.459
 and then

00:20:48.459 --> 00:20:50.399
 he presents

00:20:50.399 --> 00:20:51.379
 the most

00:20:51.379 --> 00:20:52.559
 precious

00:20:52.559 --> 00:20:53.259
 of ideas

00:20:53.259 --> 00:20:54.700
 it's an idea

00:20:54.700 --> 00:20:55.140
 that I just

00:20:55.140 --> 00:20:55.839
 love

00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:57.220
 to ponder

00:20:57.220 --> 00:20:59.039
 and John

00:20:59.039 --> 00:20:59.859
 uses a word

00:20:59.859 --> 00:21:00.960
 he is rather

00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:01.700
 fond of

00:21:01.700 --> 00:21:02.579
 to help us

00:21:02.579 --> 00:21:03.379
 to understand

00:21:03.379 --> 00:21:04.079
 this

00:21:04.079 --> 00:21:05.779
 idea

00:21:05.779 --> 00:21:07.720
 Jesus says

00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:08.879
 verse 56

00:21:08.879 --> 00:21:09.879
 whoever feeds

00:21:09.879 --> 00:21:10.579
 on my flesh

00:21:10.579 --> 00:21:11.480
 and drinks

00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:12.079
 my blood

00:21:12.079 --> 00:21:12.619
 and you can

00:21:12.619 --> 00:21:13.160
 insert there

00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:14.240
 whoever believes

00:21:14.240 --> 00:21:15.599
 in me

00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:17.200
 abides

00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:18.599
 in me

00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:19.799
 and I

00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:21.379
 in him

00:21:21.380 --> 00:21:22.680
 it's the Greek

00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:23.060
 word

00:21:23.060 --> 00:21:24.120
 meno

00:21:24.120 --> 00:21:26.880
 m-e-n-o

00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:27.920
 abides

00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:29.540
 remains

00:21:29.540 --> 00:21:31.400
 dwells

00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:32.040
 it's the idea

00:21:32.040 --> 00:21:33.140
 of a fixed

00:21:33.140 --> 00:21:33.620
 place

00:21:33.620 --> 00:21:34.080
 of

00:21:34.080 --> 00:21:35.240
 belonging

00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:36.860
 the one

00:21:36.860 --> 00:21:37.440
 who believes

00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:38.040
 in Jesus

00:21:38.040 --> 00:21:39.460
 belongs

00:21:39.460 --> 00:21:40.820
 in

00:21:40.820 --> 00:21:42.080
 him

00:21:42.080 --> 00:21:43.180
 and

00:21:43.180 --> 00:21:43.600
 likewise

00:21:43.600 --> 00:21:44.400
 Jesus

00:21:44.400 --> 00:21:45.300
 takes up

00:21:45.300 --> 00:21:45.860
 residence

00:21:45.860 --> 00:21:47.420
 in the

00:21:47.420 --> 00:21:47.820
 believer

00:21:47.820 --> 00:21:49.800
 this is an

00:21:49.800 --> 00:21:50.940
 extraordinarily

00:21:50.940 --> 00:21:52.660
 special

00:21:52.660 --> 00:21:54.320
 relationship

00:21:54.320 --> 00:21:56.019
 union

00:21:56.019 --> 00:21:56.820
 being

00:21:56.820 --> 00:21:57.680
 united

00:21:57.680 --> 00:21:59.140
 with

00:21:59.140 --> 00:22:00.900
 Christ

00:22:00.900 --> 00:22:01.700
 so I said

00:22:01.700 --> 00:22:02.080
 the union

00:22:02.080 --> 00:22:03.160
 of the living

00:22:03.940 --> 00:22:04.700
 lives

00:22:04.700 --> 00:22:05.420
 and we

00:22:05.420 --> 00:22:06.059
 live

00:22:06.059 --> 00:22:07.160
 in

00:22:10.799 --> 00:22:11.420
 places that

00:22:11.420 --> 00:22:12.039
 John uses

00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:12.720
 this word

00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:13.519
 to understand

00:22:13.519 --> 00:22:14.840
 just how

00:22:14.840 --> 00:22:15.500
 special

00:22:15.500 --> 00:22:16.460
 this relationship

00:22:16.460 --> 00:22:17.559

00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:20.420
 it's such

00:25:20.420 --> 00:25:21.500
 a beautiful

00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:22.500
 beautiful

00:25:22.500 --> 00:25:23.840
 idea

00:25:23.840 --> 00:25:25.800
 Jesus

00:25:25.800 --> 00:25:26.160
 goes on

00:25:26.160 --> 00:25:26.740
 in verse 57

00:25:26.740 --> 00:25:27.420
 as the

00:25:27.420 --> 00:25:27.880
 living

00:25:27.880 --> 00:25:28.320
 father

00:25:28.320 --> 00:25:29.080

00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:30.839
 because

00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:31.099
 of the

00:25:31.099 --> 00:25:31.379
 father

00:25:31.379 --> 00:25:31.579
 so

00:25:31.579 --> 00:25:31.859
 whoever

 feeds

00:25:32.399 --> 00:25:32.740

00:25:32.740 --> 00:25:33.059
 me

00:25:33.059 --> 00:25:33.339
 he

00:25:33.339 --> 00:25:33.879
 also

00:25:33.879 --> 00:25:34.179
 will

00:25:34.179 --> 00:25:34.759
 live

00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:35.399
 because

00:25:35.399 --> 00:25:36.419

00:25:36.419 --> 00:25:36.699
 me

00:25:36.699 --> 00:25:37.599
 why

00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:37.879
 because

00:25:37.879 --> 00:25:38.259
 we are

00:25:38.259 --> 00:25:38.899
 united

00:25:38.899 --> 00:25:40.039

00:25:40.039 --> 00:25:41.819
 look at

00:25:41.819 --> 00:25:42.179
 the same

00:25:42.179 --> 00:25:42.859
 idea

00:25:42.859 --> 00:25:43.859
 not using

00:25:44.980 --> 00:25:45.699
 word

00:25:45.699 --> 00:25:46.259

00:25:46.259 --> 00:25:46.500
 at the

00:25:46.500 --> 00:25:47.019
 idea

00:25:47.019 --> 00:25:47.939
 elsewhere

00:25:55.519 --> 00:25:55.759
 about

00:25:55.759 --> 00:25:56.599
 departing

00:25:56.599 --> 00:25:57.240
