Calvinism, Transubstantiation, and the Bread of Life, Explained — John 6:41-60

Last week, we studied John 6, where Jesus declared that He’s the Bread of Life. And this week, we’ll continue in that same chapter, as Jesus doubles down and explains exactly what He meant by that claim. Now, this passage is one of the most debated in Scripture, because it’s often used to support false teachings like Calvinism and transubstantiation. But as we look at the context of this chapter, we’ll see what Jesus was actually saying and how we should all respond to His words.Related Videos:Jesus Is the Bread of Life — John 6:15-40 - https://youtu.be/IYuoATJ5D_YWhat Calvinism Is, And Why It's Unbiblical - https://youtu.be/Q_XJyHz1TwcHey!
