This is the Work of God | John 6:26-31 | Behold The Lamb

Behold The Lamb

Aug 20

In John six so far, we have seen two of John’s hand-selected miracles back-to-back. He provides two out of his seven hand-selected miracles in the first twenty-one verses of John chapter six - the feeding of the 5,000 and Jesus’ walking on water. Now, with the SAME crowd He just fed, He will attempt to clarify His identity through a teaching discourse. There is definitely some "back and forth" during this teaching as evidenced by the crowd's multiple interjections (v25, v28, v30, v34, v42, and v52). In His teaching, Jesus will use the feeding of the 5,000 as a basis for a metaphor about Him being the BREAD of LIFE.
