· (62i) Paradox Ø Anomalies Ø Being clever Ø Taking advantage of the circumstances

Jn 6,22-36

· (16j) Sin Ø Continuing in sin to avoid the light Ø Pretending God is not here Ø Having hidden motives – When you look into these verses, you see that the Jews were seeking Jesus, not because they wanted to be with Him, or because they wanted to hear Him preach, not even to see His miracles, but to eat more of that freshly baked bread. If it were up to the Jews, they would have simply followed Jesus around while he pulled bread out of the air at 8 AM and at 5 PM every day, and the what’s-there-to-eat problem would have been solved. It is unbelievable how it seemed they never internalized the fact that the bread they ate came from heaven. Their earthly needs were so engraved in their minds that they missed the point that they had just witnessed a miracle. All they wanted was more bread. They never saw it! Has anyone ever taken advantage of you? How would you feel if God gave you the ability to pull bread out of a basket and get a reaction like this from the people you served? Jesus never yelled at them or was exasperated with their unbelief, but simply spoke the word of God to them so that we would benefit from their lesson. What an incredible demonstration of patience on Jesus’ part.

Jn 6-25,26

· (241d) Kingdom of God Ø Opposition toward the kingdom of God Ø Hindering the kingdom Ø Obstacles in the way of the kingdom Ø Ask but don’t receive Ø Getting an answer that is not in your will -- Jesus answered them, but He didn’t answer their question. They asked Him, “When did you get here,” and His answer was, “You seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.” He answered their question, not the one on their minds, but the one in their hearts. They sought Jesus for a free lunch, saying, “What shall we do that we may work the works of God?” They were essentially asking Him, ‘If you’re not giving us another free meal, then teach us how to indefinitely pull food out of a basket.’ That’s all they wanted. Jesus tried to direct their minds to seek the food that endures to eternal life, but they didn’t hear a word of it. This is not what they wanted.

Jn 6,26-36

· (76n) Thy kingdom come Ø Desires Ø Word is food Ø Bread of life is the word of God -- These verses go with verses 48-58

· (126i) Thy kingdom come Ø Manifestations of faith Ø Patience Ø The patience of God Ø God is patient

· (167d) Works of the devil Ø Manifestations of the devil Ø Carnality Ø The carnal mind is set on the flesh Ø Bound to the earth  -- They asked him another question, “What do you do for a sign that we may see and believe?” This is Jesus practicing His perfect patience in dealing with a reprobate people who are incapable of repenting of their unbelief. They re-dressed their original question and requisitioned Jesus again to make bread come from a basket. Jesus continued re-directing their minds to His eternal purpose, but it was no use. After performing so many miracles in their presence you would think they would listen to Him, but they couldn’t care less about His ramblings about eternal life. Jesus wanted to tell them about eternal life, but food was all that mattered to them.

· (183e) Works of the devil Ø The origin of lawlessness Ø Spirit of error Ø Incubators of the spirit of error Ø Selfish ambition

· (186d) Works of the devil Ø The result of lawlessness Ø The reprobate Ø Man’s role in becoming a reprobate Ø The fool Ø The fool throws Jesus away for something better -- Jesus told them, “You have seen me, yet you do not believe.” This is an incredible statement. It really encapsulates the problem that Jesus was facing with the Jews. After performing so many miracles in their very presence, they still would not believe in Him. Are people really any different today? What if revival broke out and signs, wonders and miracles became commonplace, would people repent? Yes, some would repent like many did in Jesus’ day, but what about the rest. What do you say about a person who has witnessed the manifested presence of God and is unaffected by it? This is the reprobate mind. These are very scary people, like the walking dead! They are hardened in their hearts, incapable of believing in God.

· (221b) Kingdom of God Ø The elusive kingdom of heaven Ø Kingdom hidden behind the veil from the world Ø God hides from man’s ignorance Ø God hides from those who are looking for Him

Jn 6,41-44

· (70g) Authority Ø Familiar with the truth-enemy of discernment Ø With Jesus in the flesh -- These verses go with verse 36. The Jews complained that Jesus said he was the bread of life, saying, “Is not this Jesus, whose father and mother we know…?” Jesus wasn’t worried that the Jews were not curious about what a man of miracles would have to say. He explained to them why they were incapable of believing, saying, “No one can come to Me, unless the Father who sent Me draws him. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.” In other words, anyone who has been taught and has lived by the precepts of the Old Testament will be prepared to believe in Jesus. The Jews had not been living by the precepts of the Old Testament and were consequently ill-prepared to receive their messiah. The precepts of the Ten Commandments primarily encompassed loving God and their fellow man. The Jews did not live by these laws, and were therefore hardened to the things Jesus came to offer them.

· (158b) Works of the devil Ø Essential characteristics Ø Divide and conquer Ø Strife Ø Grumbling -- These verses go with verse 61

Jn 6-45

· (8f) Responsible to interact with God Ø Law prepares you for the Spirit – There are many similarities between the Old and the New Testament. If you understand this verse, you understand the connection between the two, which is essential to properly interpreting many difficult portions of Scripture and the Bible as a whole. Of course Jesus was speaking to Jews who followed the law (the Old Testament). Basically, Jesus was saying, "Everyone who has heard and learned from the Old Testament will find it a smooth transition to believe in the New. There were other people like the Pharisees who didn’t follow the law, but used it for their own sordid gain. To them, the Old Testament did not lead them to the New, because that implies cultivating a good conscience for believing in Jesus. In other words the Old Testament lays a solid foundation for believing in the new, mostly by preparing your heart with a clear conscience. See Act 16-14 for a living example of how this works.

· (90c) Thy kingdom come Ø Keeping the law Ø Law is our tutor Ø It prepares your heart to receive Christ

· (106m) Thy kingdom come Ø Hearing from God Ø Purpose of hearing from God Ø God gives us direction (Attitude)

· (239e) Kingdom of God Ø Pursuing the kingdom Ø Pursuing the knowledge of the kingdom Ø Teachers Ø Teachable students Ø The teachable are taught by God

Jn 6-46

· (104f) Thy kingdom come Ø Pure in heart shall see God Ø Shall see the Father Ø Being in the presence of God

· (117j) Thy kingdom come Ø Eyes of your spirit Ø Seeing through the eyes of your spirit Ø Acknowledging the presence of God

Jn 6,47-58

· (136e) Temple Ø Your spirit is the temple of God Ø The body of Christ Ø Jesus’ fleshly body Ø The flesh of Jesus’ sacrifice -- These verses go with verses 33-40

· (189i) Die to self (Process of substitution) Ø Separation from the old man Ø Martyr Ø Jesus was a martyr -- These verses go with verses 37-40

· (244d) Kingdom of God Ø The eternal kingdom Ø Eternal life of the trinity Ø Jesus is the source of eternal life -- These verses go with verses 66-68

· (254e) Trinity Ø Holy Spirit’s relationship between Father and Son Ø Jesus is the life of the Spirit Ø We live because He is life Ø Life is in the blood -- These verses go with verses 32-35

Jn 6,47-51

· (39l) Judgment Ø The essence of life defeated the essence of death

Jn 6-47

· (78b) Thy kingdom come Ø Sincerity of heart Ø Being honest Ø Telling the truth -- This verse goes with verse 53

· (207k) Salvation Ø The salvation of God Ø Salvation verses Ø The generosity of God’s salvation Ø Salvation is eternal life -- This verse goes with verse 51

Jn 6,48-58

· (76n) Thy kingdom come Ø Desires Ø Word is food Ø Bread of life is the word of God -- These verses go with verses 26-36

Jn 6,48-51

· (36c) Gift of God Ø Gifts from the Holy Spirit Ø Spiritual food -- These verses go with verses 26&27

Jn 6-50

· (187b) Die to self (Process of substitution) Ø Separation from the old manØ Die to the flesh Ø The ministry of dying to self Ø Die to self to minister to people Ø Die to self to encourage the strong

Jn 6,51-58

· (17b) Sin Ø Man’s nature is instinctively evil Ø A barbaric nature requires a barbaric remedy – Had man not sinned, Jesus would not have needed to die, and if you personally were not a sinner, you would not need to partake of His sacrifice. As it stands however, man did sin and you are a sinner, and so none of us have a choice except to partake of His sacrifice. Therefore, anyone who partakes of the crucifixion of God’s Son as sinners is responsible for killing Him. Either we become partakers of Christ and hence participants in shedding His blood and are accordingly allowed to go to heaven, or we are innocent of His death as non-partakers and summarily wave our right to heaven. So man finds himself between a rock and a hard spot in His relationship with God. Either we go to heaven as murderers of His Son, or we go to hell innocent of His death but guilty of our own sin.

· (25g) Sin Ø Poverty (Forms of fear) Ø Killing Jesus

· (37b) Judgment Ø The cross Ø Father slays His son

· (45e) God’s Judgment Ø On believer’s sin Ø Through His Son Ø On the cross

· (77a) Thy kingdom come Ø Hunger for the essence of God Ø Hunger for His righteousness -- These verses go with verse 35

· (177h) Works of the devil Ø The religion of witchcraft Ø Presumption Ø Misunderstanding Ø Misunderstanding Jesus -- These verses go with verse 15. Jesus said things that not even His closest disciples could accept, like, “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.” Any one who performed miracles like Jesus did is bound to say some strange things. If you ever meet a man who performs miracles and he says things that make sense to your natural mind, that man is lying to you. Jesus asked them, “You do not want to go away also, do you?” Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life.” Peter had no other place to go, yet Jesus did not act concerned about their emotional state or their disbelief in their darkest hour, saying, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is a devil.” The disciples were already distressed by what Jesus was saying, and now they realized that one of them was a devil. They started suspiciously looking at each other. This is not what the disciples wanted to hear. They wanted encouragement from Him, but they didn’t get it. Instead, they got more bad news. Walking with Jesus is sometimes very hard, because he is so unlike us. The problem with His disciples, the problem with the Jews and the problem with the world today is that people are unspiritual and they don't want to change.

· (205f) Salvation Ø Salvation is based on God’s promises Ø New covenant Ø The new covenant in His blood

· (209k) Salvation Ø The salvation of God Ø Jesus is our sacrifice Ø Jesus paid the price for us Ø Father sent His son to the cross -- These verses go with verses 39&40

· (229j) Kingdom of God Ø God’s kingdom is a living organism Ø Partaking Ø Partaking of Jesus Ø Partaking of Jesus’ gift -- Jesus equated His flesh to the bread they were seeking from the miracle He performed feeding the five thousand a few days earlier. He equated the bread to His own body that He would sacrifice on the cross. Once He ascended to the Father, He would distribute the Holy Spirit in like manner as life to those who are hungry for the essence of God, and they will become His children through the transaction.

· (160c) Works of the devil Ø Essential characteristics Ø Counterfeit Ø Counterfeit God Ø Counterfeit life

· (254h) Trinity Ø Holy Spirit’s relationship between Father and Son Ø Jesus is equal with the Holy Spirit Ø Holy Spirit is life Ø Spirit of God is the life of Christ -- Everything about Jesus was about the Spirit of God. His words were drenched in the Holy Spirit. His flesh, once sacrificed released a spiritual flood into the world, resembling the bread that he distributed to the five thousand, as much as they wanted until they were satisfied. After Jesus rose from the dead and ascended to heaven He distributed the Holy Spirit to all who would receive Him, and has been doing so ever since.

· (254k) God’s Word Is Spirit (Key verse)

· (255a) Trinity Ø Holy Spirit’s relationship between Father and Son Ø God’s word is Spirit Ø Spirit of the word Ø Words of His Spirit are life

· (219d) Sovereignty Ø God overrides the will of man Ø The elect Ø God transforms the world into the church Ø God chooses to speak to whomever He wishes -- This verse goes with verse 39

Jn 6,66-71

· (5h) Responsibility Ø Discipleship tested Ø God tests your loyalty Ø Your commitment to follow Jesus – Jesus said some things that were not too popular with His disciples. They must have thought He had lost His mind or perhaps never had it, so they left Him, instead of trusting Him. The ones that stayed were struggling with His words, but Jesus wasn’t very understanding about their feelings. In fact, He continued to say things that were difficult to accept, things that were meant to scare them even more. Peter uttered a statement of faith, perhaps hoping also to get a little sympathy from the Lord, but Jesus told him that one of them was a devil. These were trying times for the disciples. God wants to know if your faith is sincere, or if you are merely tagging along for some other reason.

· (92e) Thy kingdom come Ø The narrow way Ø Trail of good works Ø You cannot walk two trails

Jn 6,66-69

· (150f) Witness Ø Validity of Jesus Christ Ø Works of the church bear witness of Jesus Ø Confessing Jesus Ø Confessing Jesus as the son of God

Jn 6,66-68

· (244d) Kingdom of God Ø The eternal kingdom Ø Eternal life of the trinity Ø Jesus is the source of eternal life -- These verses go with verse 40

· (2f) Responsible to avoid offending God Ø Keep your commitments – It is one thing for the world to rob you of your faith through many trials or temptations, but it is quite another thing for the master of your faith to talk you out of it. If whatever Christ says to you weakens your faith, then you either misinterpreted Him or He is challenging you to a greater commitment than you already have. Never let the Bible sway you from your faith; instead, reread it, or study the part that is confusing you until you understand it. Another thing you can do is increase your commitment to Christ in order to place yourself in a position to receive wisdom from God, that He may explain it to you, but don’t just walk away from Him. There is no reward in that.
