The Bread of Life
John chapter 6 recounts two of Jesus' miraculous signs: the feeding of the 5,000 and his walking on water, both demonstrating his divine authority. The chapter goes on to detail Jesus' profound teaching about being the Bread of Life, emphasizing the spiritual sustenance he provides, which is essential for eternal life. Jesus clarifies that belief in him is the work that God desires and that he alone can satisfy the deepest hungers of the human soul. Despite the miraculous signs, many find Jesus' teachings difficult to accept, leading to a turning point where some of his followers leave, unable to commit to his challenging message. The chapter concludes with Peter's confession of faith, recognizing Jesus as the Holy One of God, contrasting the belief of the faithful with the unbelief of others.
