As He finishes praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus is betrayed, arrested, denied, mocked, and beaten. As we watch the story unfold in Luke 22:39-71, we see the significance of all that occurred, Jesus’ graciousness and longsuffering, and His response to their allegation that confirms He is the Son of God.

Jesus has a jam-packed 24 hours in John 6 as He feeds 5,000 men (plus women and children!) with only five loaves and two fish, calms a storm as He walks across the Sea of Galilee, and launches into a deep theological discourse on how He is the Bread of Life. As we look into the significance behind these events, we see how Jesus astutely responds to the people's inquiries to show them who He is and what they must do to be saved.

Through the Bible | John 6 by Brett Meador

Jesus declares, "I am the Bread of Life" in John 6:31-58 in response to the people's assertion that their ancestors ate bread from Heaven. As we study Jesus' first "I am" statement, we learn how this is linked to manna in the Old Testament, see the danger of murmuring against the Lord's provision, and examine the blessings we receive when we allow Jesus to be the one to fulfill and sustain us.

I AM the Bread of Life by Brett Meador

Jesus attracts the negative attention of the religious leaders after He breaks one of their legalistic rules by healing a man on the Sabbath. As they question Him in John 5, Jesus begins making claims about who He is, why He came, and the final authority He has to judge – which will ultimately draw their ire even more.

Through the Bible | John 5 by Brett Meador

In John 5:1-16 we meet a man who has been crippled for 38 years and is utterly helpless in his attempt to find a remedy. However, his life changes when he encounters Jesus at the Pool of Bethesda. As we study his story, we learn what this man did to deserve this miracle, how he and others responded to his healing, and how the grace and mercy he received are also available to us through Jesus Christ.

Are You Feeling Helpless? by Brett Meador

After encountering Jesus at the village well, a Samaritan woman rushes to share the good news with her fellow townspeople, resulting in many believing in Jesus. Later in John 4, we see an example of false faith from the people of Galilee, and conversely, true faith in action as a nobleman’s son is miraculously healed. As we watch all these events unfold, we see a beautiful model of evangelism, Jesus’ compassion on people from all walks of life, and where genuine faith comes from.
