Sign #5 - You Can Trust What He is Saying With Your Life - Audio

Last week we studied John 6:1-15, the fourth sign where Jesus fed the 5000. Today we want to study the fifth of seven signs that we are looking at in the Gospel of John. To see the impact of this sign you have to understand what is going on around it. It takes place on a boat. When the disciples all get in the boat Jesus is a celebrity. Look at 6:14-15. When they get off the boat His popularity is going to begin to radically change. Look at 6:60 and then 66 (that is not the 12, but other followers). You say, "What happened?' It starts with Jesus challenging all these people running after Him. Their pursuit of Him is both selfish and superficial. It is just about feeling good. In 6:26-27 He rebukes their pursuit of the physical and the temporary. So you know right away that people are like, "Whoa, look who woke up on the wrong side of the bed." But then Jesus begins to teach them about the eternal and spiritual and we receive some very profound teachings. I mean a lot is introduced in this chapter.
