The Feeding of the 5,000: An Object Lesson For "The Bread of Life" Discourse
Only Jesus Christ, the Son of God, can truly satisfy.
Unbelievers want Jesus Christ to be a mere "sign worker" (1-4) Need to follow Jesus because He is the Christ, the Son of God (1-2) Need to believe that Jesus is the Lamb of God (3-4)
Believers see Jesus Christ as something less than God (5-13) Need to believe that Jesus is thesole Sustainer of creation (5-7) Need to believe that Jesus is the powerful Creator of the world (8-9) Need to believe that Jesus is the abundant Satisfier of all needs (10-13)
Unbelievers want to force Jesus Christ into their secular mold (14-15) Need to believe that Jesus is more than a Prophet (14) Need to believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God (15)
Applications 1. Unbelievers repent of your failure to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.
2. Believers, live your lives with heaven's understanding of Jesus, not earth's--fall on your knees before Him and recognize your total inability to find any true, long-lasting satisfaction apart from Him.
Jesus is the Bread of Life! "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him!" (John Piper)
