“Provisions of Grace”
Text: John 6:24-35
Today’s sermon passage comes from shortly after John’s account of the feeding of the 5,000. Wanting more miracles to address more of their needs, a portion of the crowd asks Jesus what He is going to do for them next. Jesus responds to them by encouraging them to believe in Him to earn the bread of eternal life. In this time, eternal life was a concept reserved only for those with power; by using it, Jesus declares that each of us has worth to God and is worthy to receive this gift.
