The Bread of Life (Part Two) "Murmuring"

The Lord reveals to the crowd that He "came down from Heaven." The Jews are convinced that they know His origin, and that He is merely the "son of Joseph." We who have read the Gospel know that He is the eternal Word that has come down from Heaven and was made flesh (John 1:14). This Word is the only begotten Son of the Father! In an ironic twist, the crowd murmurs just as their ancestors did concerning the manna in the wilderness. Christ does not attempt to answer their criticism because He knows that no one can come to Christ unless the Father has drawn that individual.
