Jesus said that whoever would come to him would not hunger and that whoever believes in Him will not thirst. It seems so crazy and wild to me that Jesus really does provide for us everything we need. Can that really be? I’m a little distracted tonight. Someone gave me a Big Green Egg smoker….
v. 29 So they said to him, ‚ÄúThen what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‚ÄòHe gave them bread from heaven to eat.‚Äô‚Äù 32 Jesus then said to them, ‚ÄúTruly, truly, I…
John 6:27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.‚Äù John 6:28 ¬? Then they asked him, ‚ÄúWhat must we do to do the works God requires?‚Äù John 6:29…
25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, ‚ÄúRabbi, when did you come here?‚Äù 26 Jesus answered them, ‚ÄúTruly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. 27 Do not labor for…
I have still been amazed today that Jesus really was tempted to bow down to Satan. I was talking about it at lunch and Andy G and I began talking about how it was a real temptation for Jesus to turn the rocks into bread. Andy said a good one, ‚ÄúHe probably had to deliberately…
Today I met Andy J at the bank and we talked about Luke 4. The amazing thing about Jesus being tempted in the desert, I think, is that a lot of times we‚Äôve been ripped off and analyze what the temptations represent or what they symbolize and the way He resisted w/ God‚Äôs Word or…
Good conversation at the Donut Bank today, talking about how the culture and the church is moving the way of companies and business…away from the powerful CEO that makes all of the decisions and his trickle down approvals. The church is becoming more entrepreneurial, smaller and more agile. Instead of the monstrous IBM church a…
I was just reading Rick’s notes on John 6.1-13 and the recurring theme of God giving in abundance and there being leftovers comes up over and over again. When Jesus handed out the bread, there were leftovers, when He turned the water into wine, I HOPE there were leftovers!, when they caught all of the…
(if this is a little scattered, I was retrieving Levi a couple times during this writing) There has to be something up with John 6.4 There are a lot of similarities between Jesus feeding the 5000 and the ‚ÄúLast Supper.‚Äù Jesus broke the bread and gave thanks and passed it out to people that would…
John 6.3-5 Jesus is sitting w/ His disciples, away from the crowds, but He can see that the crowds are coming. He looks out over them and doesn‚Äôt ask ‚ÄúShould we feed these people?‚Äù but instead, ‚ÄúWhere do we get their bread?‚Äù I love that. Jesus isn‚Äôt waiting for the people to come and beg….
