John 6:41-59
OPEN:
- What type of bread are you today: All natural? Rye? Moldy? Crusty? Fresh? Easy to butter up?
DIG:
- In John 6:41-42, how do the crowds respond to his claims? How is the principle of the hometown prophet (John 4:44) played out here?
- What part is played by God and by the people in the process of coming to know Jesus (John 6:44-45)? What promise is repeated three times for those who do come to him? Why the emphasis on this?
- How is the "bread" he gives greater than that of Moses (John 6:32, 49)?
- Why does Jesus develop the food analogy even more graphically (John 6:53-58)?
- What does Jesus mean by "eating his flesh" and "drinking his blood" (John 6:51-58)?
REFLECT:
- Has your familiarity with Jesus (from Sunday School stories, Christian school, etc.) ever kept you from seeing who he really is? What can remove the blinders?
- If someone asked, "How do you hunger and thirst after God," what counsel could you offer?
