12 From the Book of John is: John 6:22-40
The
miracle of verses 4-13 is the basis of the dialogue between Jesus and
the Jews in verses 25-59.
- The people saw the outward form of the outward miracle, but failed to discern what it signified spiritually (verse 26). Why? From what motives did they seek Jesus? Are you more concerned about spiritual development than material prosperity? (verse 27)?
- 'Labour' in verse 27 is literally 'work for'. How did the people relate this word (a) to the work they were expected to do (verse 28), (b) to the work of Moses compared with Jesus (verses 30, 31)? What work did Jesus (a) require from them (verse 29 )and (b) offer from Himself (verse 32-40)? What, therefore is the answer to the question in verse 28?
- How do verses 35-40 present God's answer to man's hunger?
Note.
Verse 22-25 explain the astonishment of the crowd at finding Jesus
next day on the Capernaum side of the lake. They had noticed that He
had not gone with the disciples.
