John 6
Inspired thots
Great crowds of people followed Jesus when they saw the miracles He performed: feeding thousands of people and healing the sick. But Jesus wanted true believers and not just followers for physical satisfaction.
People tend to believe what is outrageous or that which is beyond their physical capability - like miracles that satisfy the physical and temporal. They cannot accept miracles pertaining to the soul and heart. They could not accept Jesus as the Bread of Life, the Messiah who died on the cross for their sins: hard teachings or His miraculous birth - the fact that they 'know' Him, background and family. Man is focused on the physical and the temporal. Jesus referred to the spirit.
Jesus died so that the world may have life (v51)
