We must focus on the eternal over the temporal. We should never attempt to serve God in our own strength but rather seek our spiritual nourishment from Jesus alone. (UGP)

Jesus: The Bread of Life
The True Bread from Heaven
John 6: 25-40

Joh 6:25 And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when did You come here?"
Joh 6:26 Jesus answered them and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.
Joh 6:27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him."
Joh 6:28 Then they said to Him, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?"
Joh 6:29 Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent."
Joh 6:30 Therefore they said to Him, "What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?
Joh 6:31 Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, 'HE GAVE THEM BREAD FROM HEAVEN TO EAT.'"
Joh 6:32 Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
Joh 6:33 For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
Joh 6:34 Then they said to Him, "Lord, give us this bread always."
Joh 6:35 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.
Joh 6:36 But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe.
Joh 6:37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.
Joh 6:38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
Joh 6:39 This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
Joh 6:40 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day."

1. What caused the Jews to be puzzled when they found Jesus in Capernaum?
2. What contrast did He make with their desire for physical bread?
3. Why was their request for an additional sign ridiculous?
4. What did Jesus mean by referring to Himself as the Bread of life?
5. What did Jesus say about those the Father gives to Him?
6. What did their request reveal about their true attitude?
7. How can we have assurance of eternal life?
