John 6:55-69 | David Johnson | Ordinary Time | August 26, 2018
from Church of the Open Door Sermon Archives · host Worship
At the beginning of John 6 Jesus was at the top of His game, thousands following Him wherever He went. They were already singing His praises when He added to their astonishment by providing food for them all with five loaves and two fish. But when He clarified to them what He really came to do and what He really came to offer (not physical, but spiritual bread), they did what the crowd often does; they withdrew from Him. David wants to explore with us the relationship Jesus had with the crowd. He really did care for them; He taught them about the Kingdom; He healed them; He fed them; He had compassion on them. But He never chased them, He was never enamored with them, and He never softened His message to become more attractive to them. We need to study Jesus here and learn from Him.
