Bread

I am the Bread of Life

the story begins with the feeding of the 5000
lots of people are following Jesus because Miracles are happening

what is our motivation to follow Jesus? guilt, duty, crowd, love?

Jesus brings the spiritual into Focus
Exodus 16:4
bread vs bread
- we need to have a full understanding of our world - the physical and spiritual components of our lives

people often desire the divine or get caught up in the beauty - even secularists
Jesus is calling them to know Him, to see Him, in all of His Glory
and its not just "exciting", it will be hard, painful, and humble - yet full of Life and Joy

Spiritual insight today does not guarantee spiritual growth tomorrow
We must walk with Jesus, participate with the Bread of Life everyday
Look at Peter's journey

"You have the Words of Life"
"I do not know the man"
"Stand Firm"

1 Peter 5:12
