WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.600 Turn in our Bibles to John's Gospel. 00:00:05.980 --> 00:00:10.779 If you need a Bible and you haven't got one, it'll be helpful for you, so please feel free 00:00:10.779 --> 00:00:12.560 to get up out of your seat and get one. 00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:13.900 Sam is at the back there. 00:00:14.519 --> 00:00:19.699 Are there any notes left if anybody needs notes and a pen if you want to follow along? 00:00:19.699 --> 00:00:36.799 So John chapter 6, we're going to be reading from verse 25 down to verse 40. 00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:50.019 I'll just give you a second to find it. 00:00:50.179 --> 00:00:56.780 John chapter 6, verses 25 to 40. 00:01:06.799 --> 00:01:11.219 So let's hear God's word to us. 00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:21.759 When they, that's the crowd, found Jesus on the other side of the lake, they asked him, 00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.659 Rabbi or teacher, when did you get here? 00:01:26.819 --> 00:01:32.539 Jesus answered, very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the 00:01:32.540 --> 00:01:38.020 signs I performed, but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. 00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:48.100 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the 00:01:48.100 --> 00:01:53.820 Son of Man will give you, for on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval. 00:01:56.300 --> 00:02:01.420 Then they asked him, what must we do to do the works God requires? 00:02:02.540 --> 00:02:09.480 Jesus answered, the work of God is this, to believe in the one he has sent. 00:02:10.819 --> 00:02:16.140 So they asked him, what sign then will you give us that we may see it and believe you? 00:02:16.740 --> 00:02:17.659 What will you do? 00:02:18.640 --> 00:02:21.080 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness. 00:02:21.540 --> 00:02:25.640 As it is written, he gave them bread from heaven to eat. 00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:34.299 Jesus said to them, very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, 00:02:34.799 --> 00:02:41.339 but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven, for the bread of God and 00:02:41.339 --> 00:02:45.139 the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. 00:02:45.139 --> 00:02:50.799 Sir, they said, always give us this bread. 00:02:52.079 --> 00:02:56.759 Then Jesus declared, I am the bread of life. 00:02:57.779 --> 00:03:05.159 Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. 00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:11.340 But as I told you, you have seen me, and still you do not believe. 00:03:12.740 --> 00:03:20.979 All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me, I will never drive away. 00:03:21.979 --> 00:03:28.680 For I have come down from heaven not to do my will, but to do the will of him who sent me. 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:36.480 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, 00:03:37.180 --> 00:03:39.480 but raise them up at the last day. 00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:48.260 For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:52.460 and I will raise them up at the last day. 00:03:52.460 --> 00:03:59.420 So, please keep your Bibles open, and if you need the bathrooms at all, 00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:06.300 just feel free to go to the back and follow the blue path all the way around to the ladies 00:04:06.300 --> 00:04:08.879 and to the gents if you need them. 00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:11.819 Let's pray and ask for God's help. 00:04:16.939 --> 00:04:20.000 Father, thank you for your words. 00:04:20.139 --> 00:04:21.480 Thank you for its truth. 00:04:22.459 --> 00:04:27.959 And we pray that your word would feed us this morning, 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:32.639 that it would have an impact upon each of our lives, 00:04:33.299 --> 00:04:39.560 and that it would help us to depend upon Jesus more and more. 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.799 We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen. 00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:51.139 And Gorta Moore, that's about the only Irish I know, I think, 00:04:51.139 --> 00:04:55.159 the Great Famine, the Great Famine of Ireland. 00:04:55.159 --> 00:05:01.099 Over a period of seven years, from 1845 to 1852, 00:05:01.939 --> 00:05:04.599 one million people died, 00:05:05.599 --> 00:05:09.120 and a further one million had to flee the country. 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:10.519 The cause? 00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:14.719 A disease known as the potato blight, 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:18.000 which killed off the annual potato harvest. 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:23.640 It was devastating, because the vast majority of people living in Ireland at that time 00:05:23.640 --> 00:05:27.420 were dependent on the potato for food. 00:05:28.280 --> 00:05:31.900 You had potato for your breakfast, dinner, and tea. 00:05:31.899 --> 00:05:36.799 So without the potato, you died. 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.939 Now what the potato was to the Irish in the mid-19th century, 00:05:43.859 --> 00:05:48.419 bread was to the Palestinian people of the first century. 00:05:49.039 --> 00:05:51.539 Bread was your staple diet. 00:05:52.239 --> 00:05:56.199 You had bread for your breakfast, dinner, and tea. 00:05:56.199 --> 00:06:00.800 In fact, you literally worked for your crust. 00:06:01.699 --> 00:06:06.939 80% of your income would be spent on food, 00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.079 which was primarily bread. 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.419 It was essential to life. 00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:17.959 If you had no bread, you died. 00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:22.199 But you could imagine, then, the delight of the crowds 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:26.219 when Jesus turned up and did one of his signs. 00:06:27.079 --> 00:06:29.799 Let's pick it up in chapter 6, verse 5. 00:06:30.479 --> 00:06:32.659 We didn't read this, but we're going to read it now. 00:06:32.740 --> 00:06:34.139 Chapter 6, verse 5. 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:40.359 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming towards him, 00:06:40.699 --> 00:06:41.620 he said to Philip, 00:06:42.240 --> 00:06:45.859 Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat? 00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:49.500 Jesus asked this only to test him, 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:52.180 for he already had in mind what he was going to do. 00:06:53.460 --> 00:06:54.600 And Philip answered him, 00:06:55.340 --> 00:06:57.800 It would take more than half a year's wages 00:06:57.800 --> 00:07:02.600 to buy enough bread for each one just to have a bite. 00:07:04.020 --> 00:07:06.280 Another of his disciples, Andrew, 00:07:06.939 --> 00:07:09.319 Simon Peter's brother, spoke up, 00:07:09.980 --> 00:07:12.439 perhaps a little bit sarcastically. 00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:16.040 Here is a boy with five small barley loaves 00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:17.139 and two small fish. 00:07:17.980 --> 00:07:20.699 But how far is that going to go among so many? 00:07:22.540 --> 00:07:23.540 Jesus said, 00:07:24.180 --> 00:07:25.939 Make the people sit down. 00:07:27.120 --> 00:07:29.259 There was plenty of grass in that place, 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:30.259 and they sat down. 00:07:30.939 --> 00:07:33.420 About 5,000 men were there. 00:07:33.540 --> 00:07:35.560 So that's not counting all the women and children. 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.720 So we could say at least 10,000. 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:42.680 Jesus then took the loaves, 00:07:43.280 --> 00:07:44.400 gave thanks, 00:07:45.540 --> 00:07:47.640 distributed to those who were seated 00:07:47.640 --> 00:07:52.120 as much as they wanted. 00:07:53.700 --> 00:07:57.260 An abundance of free bread. 00:07:58.420 --> 00:08:01.480 It's no wonder then that wherever Jesus went, 00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:04.240 the crowds were not far behind. 00:08:05.020 --> 00:08:06.400 So look at verse 25. 00:08:06.399 --> 00:08:10.439 When they found Jesus on the other side of the lake, 00:08:10.899 --> 00:08:11.919 they asked him, 00:08:12.159 --> 00:08:14.159 Rabbi, when did you get here? 00:08:15.599 --> 00:08:16.579 Jesus answered, 00:08:16.779 --> 00:08:18.139 Very truly I tell you, 00:08:18.560 --> 00:08:20.339 you are looking for me, 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:24.159 not because you saw the signs I performed, 00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:27.419 but because you ate the loaves 00:08:27.419 --> 00:08:30.219 and had your fill. 00:08:31.339 --> 00:08:33.759 You see, Jesus had already performed 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:34.960 a number of signs. 00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:37.660 Remember, he had turned the water into wine. 00:08:38.360 --> 00:08:39.700 He had healed a man 00:08:39.700 --> 00:08:42.300 who had been paralysed for 38 years. 00:08:42.660 --> 00:08:45.860 And now he was providing free food. 00:08:47.580 --> 00:08:49.879 But the signs Jesus did 00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:52.440 were not an end in themselves. 00:08:52.800 --> 00:08:55.700 They were always pointing beyond the miracle itself 00:08:55.700 --> 00:08:57.700 and pointing it to Jesus 00:08:57.700 --> 00:08:59.440 about who he is 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:02.060 and what he had come to do. 00:09:03.660 --> 00:09:06.160 So what was this sign, 00:09:06.400 --> 00:09:08.980 this free bread sign, 00:09:09.540 --> 00:09:10.240 all about? 00:09:11.360 --> 00:09:14.480 Well, that's what we're going to look at together. 00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:17.080 This sign 00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:18.900 will teach us, 00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:19.940 first of all, 00:09:20.940 --> 00:09:22.900 that Jesus is 00:09:22.900 --> 00:09:23.780 the bread 00:09:23.780 --> 00:09:25.300 from heaven. 00:09:25.299 --> 00:09:26.839 Jesus is the bread 00:09:26.839 --> 00:09:27.439 from heaven. 00:09:27.439 --> 00:09:28.559 The crowd 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:29.939 naturally thought that, 00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:31.459 well, if this guy Jesus 00:09:31.459 --> 00:09:32.559 gave us bread 00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:33.559 yesterday 00:09:33.559 --> 00:09:35.500 and we didn't have to 00:09:35.500 --> 00:09:36.899 even work for it, 00:09:37.259 --> 00:09:38.899 maybe he's going to give us 00:09:38.899 --> 00:09:39.879 bread tomorrow. 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:41.959 All they could be thinking of 00:09:41.959 --> 00:09:42.719 was filling 00:09:42.719 --> 00:09:43.939 their bellies. 00:09:44.339 --> 00:09:45.979 Just give us bread 00:09:45.980 --> 00:09:46.379 bread 00:09:46.379 --> 00:09:48.180 and we'll be satisfied. 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:51.360 Well, Jesus had something 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:52.480 better to offer 00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:54.480 and we need to know 00:09:54.480 --> 00:09:55.060 and see 00:09:55.060 --> 00:09:56.259 the difference. 00:09:57.060 --> 00:09:58.420 First, Jesus talks about 00:09:58.420 --> 00:09:58.879 bread 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:00.399 that spoils. 00:10:00.580 --> 00:10:01.399 Verse 27, 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.259 do not work for food 00:10:04.259 --> 00:10:06.460 that spoils 00:10:06.460 --> 00:10:08.180 but for food 00:10:08.180 --> 00:10:08.960 that endures 00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:10.300 to eternal life. 00:10:11.779 --> 00:10:12.519 Now, bread 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:13.620 mightn't be the top 00:10:13.620 --> 00:10:14.440 of our wants 00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:16.140 and desires list. 00:10:16.800 --> 00:10:17.120 Thankfully, 00:10:17.300 --> 00:10:18.080 we live in a part 00:10:18.080 --> 00:10:18.540 of the world 00:10:18.540 --> 00:10:19.340 where we have 00:10:19.340 --> 00:10:20.840 an abundance of food. 00:10:20.980 --> 00:10:22.820 We throw away bread. 00:10:24.160 --> 00:10:24.520 However, 00:10:24.680 --> 00:10:25.740 we do hunger 00:10:25.740 --> 00:10:27.620 for other things. 00:10:28.460 --> 00:10:28.880 Don't we 00:10:28.880 --> 00:10:30.080 desperately try 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.360 to fill our lives 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:32.360 with all kinds 00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:33.200 of stuff 00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:34.540 in an effort 00:10:34.540 --> 00:10:35.280 to find 00:10:35.280 --> 00:10:36.560 satisfaction? 00:10:37.900 --> 00:10:38.560 It can be 00:10:38.560 --> 00:10:40.060 physical things 00:10:40.060 --> 00:10:41.560 like the pursuit 00:10:41.560 --> 00:10:42.540 of sports 00:10:42.540 --> 00:10:43.660 and fitness 00:10:43.659 --> 00:10:45.319 and well-being. 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.019 It can be material, 00:10:48.539 --> 00:10:49.199 a desire 00:10:49.199 --> 00:10:50.639 for more money 00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:52.019 or that job 00:10:52.019 --> 00:10:53.139 or that holiday. 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:55.959 It can be relational, 00:10:56.199 --> 00:10:56.819 the desire 00:10:56.819 --> 00:10:57.719 for a friend 00:10:57.719 --> 00:10:59.399 or to get married. 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:01.559 We work, 00:11:01.899 --> 00:11:02.539 we put in 00:11:02.539 --> 00:11:03.399 lots of effort 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:04.360 chasing that 00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:05.519 one thing. 00:11:05.740 --> 00:11:06.719 If only I could 00:11:06.719 --> 00:11:07.539 grasp it 00:11:07.539 --> 00:11:08.240 and have it, 00:11:08.600 --> 00:11:09.600 that if it was 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:10.839 in my life, 00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:13.100 it would satisfy 00:11:13.100 --> 00:11:13.540 me. 00:11:15.220 --> 00:11:15.879 What Jesus 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:16.500 is saying, 00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:18.139 all of these 00:11:18.139 --> 00:11:18.540 things, 00:11:18.639 --> 00:11:19.120 the physical, 00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:19.820 the material, 00:11:20.040 --> 00:11:20.580 the relational, 00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:21.720 they can be 00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:22.440 all good. 00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:23.540 They're wonderful, 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:24.240 good gifts 00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:24.860 from God 00:11:24.860 --> 00:11:25.519 to you.
