Exposition of John (Page 9)

Jesus the Living Bread Text: John 6:41-51 Let me set the scene again briefly. The Lord Jesus has just fed the five thousand. They are enamoured by Him, rightly believing that He is the Prophet Moses prophesied of, but thinking that He had come to supply physical bread or manna for them, and not getting that He’s is the true bread, i.e. the spiritual bread God provides…

How You Can Be Sure of Heaven or Hell Text: John 6:30-40 Jesus is still addressing the crowd that sought for Him at the other side of Galilee. Their motive is because Jesus seems useful. But what Jesus is expressing to them is that He is vital. He moves their attention from the temporal to the eternal, and He makes it perfectly clear how one obtains the eternal provision…

Christ Condemns Carnal Appetites Text: John 6:22-29 v1-15 – Jesus performs the miracle of feeding the five thousand. It was a sign to show He is the Bread of Life v35, v41, v48, v51, v55.

Why You Will Not Believe Text: John 5:39-47 Last week I rather hurriedly went through v30-38, where we find that the Father has given three key testimonies to the Son; John the Baptist, miracles, and the scriptures. In closing this chapter, there’s a huge question we need to be asking ourselves. If Jesus Christ is God, which he has emphatically claimed in the middle…

Jesus’ Deity Testified Text: John 5:30-38 For the past number of messages we have been in this very important chapter. I emphasize its importance not to belittle other passages, but to highlight the importance of the theological truth being expressed here directly from the lips of Jesus Christ. The doctrine of the deity of Christ is set aside by many religions and…
