For the next several weeks, we’re going to be spending a lot of time in John 6. Throughout this chapter, there are reminders, again and again about the “Bread of Life” that Jesus is calling people to. Now, if all we did over these weeks together is find ways to see bread as a metaphor for Jesus, things might get a little stale (pun intended). But through all these examples, Jesus is pointing people away from an intellectual exercise in trying to understand what he was bringing to them towards a physical, lived out, flesh and blood, experience. So, we’re going to skip over trying to explain away everything that’s happening in this chapter intellectually, to connect to what they’re all teaching us about a lived experience of life in Christ.
