The crowds who followed Jesus were hungry, but they were seeking a handout that would only last a day. Jesus responded with perhaps his most challenging, shocking, and life-giving teaching: He is the Bread of Life. As we consider John 6:47–59, we will consider how this Bread from heaven is a gift which sustains and nourishes those who receive it by faith. We consider three things from this text:

1. The Bread of Life is a Gift From Heaven (vv. 48–51)

2. The Bread of Life Sustains and Nourishes (vv. 57–58)

3. The Bread of Life Must Be Received (vv. 44–47)
