PART 1 I AM | I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE

I Am, Part 1 Outline – January 15, 2023

Intro: Defining questions

Sermon Text:

John 6:26-35 (NIV2011)
26 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.
27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval.”
28 Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”
29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
30 So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.


“I am the Bread of Life”

John 6:54 (NIV2011)
54  Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood
has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.


John 6:54 (NIV2011)
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood
has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.


John 6:40 (NIV2011)
…everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him
shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.


Food is necessary for physical life
Example: No power cords

Jesus is necessary for spiritual life

Ephesians 2:1-5 (NIV2011)
1  As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
2  in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
3  All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
4  But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5  made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.


Application: Explains lack of moral/spiritual perception

Food is consumed personally

Jesus is consumed personally
Application: No Christians by proxy

John 6:27, 35 (NIV2011)
27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.”
Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”

 
Food satisfies temporarily
Example: Big breakfast
Application: Manmade things don’t last = discontent

Jesus satisfies permanently
