Appearing to Understand

Text: John 6: 34-36

APPEARING TO UNDERSTAND

The multitudes appeared to understand what Jesus said when He talked about “the bread of God”. Thus, they asked Jesus for this bread.

Then they said to Him, ‘Lord, give us this bread always.’ And Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet you do not believe.’”

John 6:34-36

 1. A request made

a) “Lord, give us this bread always”
b) At first reading
i) It would appear that this was a sincere and good request.
ii) The people were asking to be given this bread of God.
iii) They were asking that Jesus would always supply them with this bread.

2. A revelation of the true picture

a) Jesus declared that He was the bread of life.

b) Did the people really want to have Jesus in their life?

c) Or did they really want physical bread?

3. “He who comes to Me shall never hunger”

a) If they really wanted Jesus in their life
b) They would never be spiritually hungry.
c) But they were asking Jesus for the “bread of God”.
d) Thus, they were expressing that they were hungry… for the physical bread and not Jesus.

4. “And he who believes in Me shall never thirst”

a) Hunger and thirst go together.
b) The person who comes to Jesus through faith will never hunger or thirst again.

5. “But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe”

a) They had seen Jesus perform a truly wondrous miracle.
b) But they did not believe in Jesus at all and thus they asked for the physical bread always!

经文:约翰福音6:34-36

似乎明白

当耶稣谈到“上帝的粮”时,众人似乎明白祂所说的话。因此,他们向耶稣讨这个粮。

“他们说:‘主啊,常将这粮赐给我们!’耶稣说:‘我就是生命的粮。到我这里来的,必定不饿;信我的,永远不渴。 只是我对你们说过,你们已经看见我,还是不信。’”

《约翰福音6:34-36》

1.提出的要求

a)“主啊,常将这粮赐给我们!”
b)初读
i)这看似是一个真诚且适宜的要求
ii)人们要求得到上帝的粮
iii)他们要求耶稣常将这粮供给他们

2.揭示真实情况

a)耶稣宣称祂是生命的粮
b)人们真的希望拥有耶稣在他们的生活中吗?
c)或者他们只是想要实在的粮?

3. “到我这里来的,必定不饿”

a)如果他们真的希望耶稣在他们的生活中
b)他们永远不会在属灵上感到饥饿
c)但他们却向耶稣要“上帝的粮”
d)因此,这表示他们饿了……想要的是实在的粮,而不是耶稣本身

4. “信我的,永远不渴”

a)饿和渴是息息相关的
b)通过信心而来到耶稣跟前的人,永远不会饿或渴

5. “只是我对你们说过,你们已经看见我,还是不信”

a)他们看到耶稣所行的奇妙的神迹
b)但他们根本不相信耶稣,因此,他们总是只要求实在的粮!
