Here’s an excerpt from the blog post.
John chapter 6 is an incredible chapter with so much to mine. It has long been one of my favorites. I love the details that John offers to the reader in the story of the feeding of the crowds. Of particular interest to me is that the people follow him because of the miracles he has been doing and are then so overwhelmed by the miraculous feeding that they seek to make him their King by compulsion. Little do they realize he is already the King, but they have not yet had their hearts softened, or eyes opened to the truth. Their ambitions were still set too lowly as they looked upon the empires of the earth and completely missed the Kingdom of Heaven.
On the following day, as Jesus teaches in the Synagogue, the people come to him now not because of the healings but rather for the provision of food. But Jesus knows their hearts and says, "Do not labor for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you." Paul would say it this way to his reader, "Set your mind on the things above and not on the things of the earth."
