Jesus In Action

Preached 25 June 2023 John 6:1-21 Question: How does Jesus related to those who follow Him? Jesus cares and acts to meet their needs. For casual and committed followers. (2, 16-21) For spiritual and physical needs. (5, 18-19; Mark 6:34) Jesus provides generously. At the cost of His own comfort. (Matthew 14:13; Mark 6:31) Beyond what is required. (11-12, 21) Jesus stretches people and involves us in His work. Jesus stretches our thinking and faith. (5-9; see also Luke 9:12-13) Jesus involves us in His work. (5-13) Jesus cannot be hijacked to our agenda. While Jesus cares and meets our needs, His own purposes and plans remain firm. (14-15) Note: In trying to force Jesus to fulfill our agenda we can lose what we want, need and what He offers. (14-15)
