\u00a0
Introduction: <\/em>In the last part of John Chapter 5, Jesus took on the unbelieving Jews and told them directly that unless they believed on Him, they would not be saved and come to the Father. He told them that another would come that was not true, and they would accept him. He was speaking of the Antichrist. This week we get into the sixth chapter which is a lengthy chapter and see the Lord declaring to the people how that He is the Bread of Life.
\u00a0
The first part of John 6 presents several related notable events in our Lord\u2019s ministry. (1) He feeds the five thousand and then (2) presents the great discourse on the bread of life. The remainder of John 6 completes the great discourse on the bread of life. Though the essence of it is spiritual indeed, shallow followers of Christ were separated from Him because they were not spiritually discerning. Spiritual truth at times will separate the wheat from the chaff.

We see that a great multitude was following Christ in the first two verses.
\u00a0
John 6:1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.<\/em>
John 6:2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.<\/em><\/span>

Verse one says \u201cAfter these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee\u201d. This speaks of how he had left Jerusalem which we read about in Chapter 5 and journeyed up the east side of the Jordan River. We know that Jesus was continually being followed by a crowd. Some in the crowd were interested only in seeing taking part in His miracles. Some came who desired to be healed. Many today are following him for different reasons in this hour, but few are following Him because they love Him. \u00a0
\u00a0
Some come to receive a feeling of blessing from the church message, some come to truly worship the Lord. \u00a0What is your reason for following Christ? \u00a0Is it to keep your conscience soothed, or is it because you love God and desire to serve Him. God help us to be people who serve God with a true heart, and worship him with honesty and truth.
\u00a0
Following the events of chapter five, Jesus returned to the Galilee region and crossed over to the eastern side. (Note that the sea of Galilee here is equated with Lake Tiberias.) \u00a0Great multitudes followed Him, having witnessed His earlier miracles.
\u00a0
It was spring time and the time of Passover. \u00a0This was the third Passover, since our Lord\u2019s baptism, and entrance on his public ministry(see John 2:13 5:1). \u00a0Whether Christ went up to this feast is not certain; some think he did not; but from what is said in John 7:1, it looks as if he did: how nigh it was to the feast, cannot well be said.\u00a0 Thirty days before the feast, they began to talk about it; and especially in the last fifteen days, they made preparations for it, as being at hand; and if there was now so long time to it, there was time enough for Jesus to go to it.<\/p>\nContinue reading in PDF:<\/p>\n
