Sermon Communion John 6
Jesus, what are your credentials?
He had just fed 5,000
Let us tell you how it is…..
We don’t tell God how it is, Christianity is about our servanthood not our lordship
Our forefathers gave us manna….
No God gave you the manna
Manna was collected daily
It skipped a day
Manna spoiled if you hoarded it
So does spirituality
Manna is to be sought early
Jesus speaks our language….they understood manna……….
He didn’t change the subject….he discussed with them on their level
Don’t expect to get instructions in King James English
I am the bread of life
Bread is a dead thing, needs a human body to do the nourishing with
But Jesus is the living bread, he nourished by himself
There is something special about the name of Jesus
Universal swear word
Drop your books in the mud…buddah
Many turned back
V38….Jesus wishes to lose none
Many turned back, not because they were being called to be cannibals,
They were being called to turn from self and embrace a faith that was Christ centered
True Christianity is Christ centered
What percentage of your life is about you?
What percentage of your life is submitted to Jesus
Some could not follow Jesus
To not follow Jesus is to follow self
If you have forgotten him, it is time to come home
Will you leave me too?
We have no other place to go
You have what we need….you have the words of eternal life
You can leave a church and still follow jesus……
Gained some wonderful people
Lost some wonderful people
But when they turned back from Jesus, they turned to nothing
Conclusion
If I could say to you, let us solve this hunger forever, would you want it
End lonliness, end anger, end bitterness,
Here it is…call upon his name
Do you have an appetite for Christ?
Are you hungry for something that is real

Taste and see that the Lord is good
