John, chapter six, is one long account, framed-up like this: a miracle, four more miracles, a sermon (to the crowd), a second sermon (to the Jews). All the while, Jesus' disciples are watching and listening. The theme of chapter six is faith: true faith in the real Jesus versus false faith in a Jesus of your own making!
Last Sunday we examined that first miracle: the feeding of a Jewish multitude. The crowd was so astonished by Jesus' power that they rose up to force Him to be Israel's king. He dispelled the mob, but they couldn't shake off the idea of a Messiah who miraculously manufactures free meals.
This morning we'll consider Jesus' next four miracles as the context for three conversations. And faith is never far in the background… Jesus speaks to three: i.) His Father (v.15); ii.) the disciples (vv.16-21); the crowd (vv.22-26).
