In Search for Jesus (John 6:22-29)

What this episode covers

In Search for Jesus (John 6:22-29) Bible Reading: The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone. Then some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus. When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?" Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval." Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?" Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent." John 6:22-29 Scripture Reflections to Consider: Why does John refer to the feeding of all the people as the place where “the Lord had given thanks”? What is the importance of the people searching after Jesus? What is your heart behind searching for Jesus? Why doesn’t Jesus answer their question? What does he tell them instead? What should our hearts be when talking with people? What were the hearts of the people looking for Jesus? How often do we “work for food that spoils”? How do we work for food that “endures to eternal life”? How do we get to do the work that God requires of us? For more information about our ministry, please visit https://www.kingdomd.org.
